Eisblumen [English translation]

The day flees hurriedly out of the city

She drinks from the shadows until satiated

And shows her true face

The puddles already shimmer like ice

In the sky shines a silver lining

The evening transforms dew to frost

The paleness that snows off from our cheeks

Makes us beautiful like angels

They should get down on their knees

And pray that the Moon remains shrouded

We are like frost flowers1

We bloom at night

We are like frost flowers

Too beautiful for the day

We are like frost flowers

Cold and black is our power

Frost flowers bloom at night

The morning converts frost to dew

The day makes everything loud and rough

We dress ourselves in sadness

But the day is gone, and so comes our time

Who wants to shine, flees2 the light

He looks the Night in the face

The paleness that snows off from our cheeks

Makes us beautiful like angels

They should get down on their knees

And pray that the Moon remains shrouded

We are like frost flowers

We bloom at night

We are like frost flowers

Too beautiful for the day

We are like frost flowers

Cold and black is our power

Frost flowers bloom at night

Frost flowers

We are like frost flowers

Too beautiful

We are like frost flowers

We are like frost flowers

We bloom at night

We are like frost flowers

Too beautiful

We are like frost flowers

Cold and black is our power

Frost flowers bloom at night

1. The word "Eisblume" means "frost pattern", but consists of the words "Eis" (ice) and "Blume" (flower), so it can also be translated either as "frost" or as "ice flowers"2. I think there is a mistake in the lyrics here, it should be "flieht" (flees), not "fleht" (implores)
