Stilles Lied [English translation]

This song comes from the mother's womb

It's a fetal diversion

Otherwise I like to be alone

I let nobody in

This song comes from the mother's womb

Where I like to stay so much

The umbilical cord nourishes me

So well with warm blood

I listen to the intestine which rumbles gently

The bladder drips all the time

The lung hisses and Mama's heart

Beats heavenwards

What should I do in the fresh air

Where they call the doctor right away

Who pulls me into life

Only that I could die later

This song comes from the uterus

Where you have to stay silent when you are a fetus

Where water fills my lungs

And cloaks me warmly

What should I do in the fresh air

Where they call the doctor right away

Who pulls me into life

Only that I could die later

What should I do in the world

Where they put my on my feet

Where a long life starts

Only that I could die later
