Vater [English translation]

Stop all the clocks,

hinder the dog

from barking at the wheel.

Wherever I end up I find you,

You're falling within the shadow of the days

as silence and sting.

I toast to you dozens of bottles of wine,

but would rather be a maggot

The coffin crumbles,

Flowers fall into cheeks,

First white, then blue, then gray, then green,

Then foam, then brown and leaves and dust.

Please, beat yourself out of my head, my house,

How else will I endure the terror?

Endure with what kind of heart, what kind of body?

End

Wherever I end up I find you,

You're falling within the shadow of the days

As silence and sting.

I wait for you, when will you return home?

I never wanted so much to be a maggot.

To be a maggot,

To be a maggot,

To be a maggot.

A Maggot.

Let me in, in, be hard as bone like you,

Let me into your eye,

I want to see it, I want to pass this test

Without pain, without pain, without pain.

You stone, let me in!

Waiting doesn't help and crying doesn't and screaming doesn't.

For everything in this world, that keeps you alive,

I'll also shatter my firmament,

Such that below you it will crumble,

And you will fall,

And you will finally come out again!
