(Lyrics adapted from the text by Georg Trakl)

These mountains; blackness, silence and snow.

The red hunter climbs down from the forest;

Oh the mossy gaze of the wild thing.

The peace of the mother: under black firs

The sleeping hands open by themselves

When the cold moon seems ready to fall.

The birth of man. Each night

Blue water washes over the rockbase of the cliff;

The fallen angel stares at his reflection with sighs,

Something pale wakes up in a suffocating room.

The eyes

Of the stony old woman shine, two moons.

The cry of the woman in labor. The night troubles

The boy's sleep with black wings,

With snow, which falls with ease out of the purple clouds.
