Sommertag [English translation]

The Sun splashes onto the sofa

Runs on the carpet, a sea

In which the dust seems to bathe (swim)

A sea of heat

And all things here around me

Are calm and silent

A shirt, a bed, a picture - no comfort

A burned piece of toast for breakfast

And conserved as if in amber

The fly in the honey jar

Was drowned

As it overate

What a day

What a summer day

A fallen sky that lay in the grass

The air is stifling and stagnant

Pondered and smoked too much

What if it was just a bit cooler

I would give everything and more

For one hour

Of summer rain here

What a day...

But only sweat runs over me

Sticky and tired, sprawls

In me the illusion that you were with me

But since no wind moves the clouds

It's toast with honey that remains

In the sea of heat

What a day...
