Hochzeitstanz [English translation]

I have been lying by your side

In the shadow of that night

I cast out your innocence

And suddenly sparked your fire

Your look aroused desire

Innocent as a child

So I made my promise

In the mild evening wind

Then under the starry sky

You became my bride

Yet your white veil

Turned gray that night

I drank the red from your lips

I stole your eyeshine

And held you tight in the arm

During our wedding dance

I sucked the sweat out of your womb

The dew of your skin

And laid you to rest

There in the heather

Your young body was refreshment

It was like a fresh source

In the night of your nights

That would never brighten up

You were gladly mine

In the bed of grass and dew

Then you fell asleep as a maid

You never woke up as a woman

I drank the red from your lips

I stole your eyeshine

And held you tight in the arm

During our wedding dance

I sucked the sweat out of your womb

The dew of your skin

And laid you to rest

There in the heather

They took you away from me

They would not understand

Now so many hours will pass

Before we meet again

Meet again
