Mondendinge
Language: German (Deutsch)
Dinge gehen vor im Mond,
die das Kalb selbst nicht gewohnt.
Tulemond und Mondamin
liegen heulend auf den Knien.
Heulend fletschen sie die Zähne
auf der schwefligen Hyäne.
Aus den Kratern aber steigt
Schweigen, das sie überschweigt.
Dinge gehen vor im Mond,
die das Kalb selbst nicht gewohnt.
Tulemond und Mondamin
liegen heulend auf den Knien...

Maandingen
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)
Er gebeuren dingen op de maan
die het maankalf zelfs niet gewend is
Allemaan inclusief Maandamin
liggen huilend op de knieën.
Huilend laten zij hun tanden zien
aan de zwavelige hyena.
Uit de kraters echter stijgt
zwijgen, dat hen overzwijgt.
Er gebeuren dingen op de maan
die het maankalf zelfs niet gewend is
Allemaan inclusief Maandamin
diggen huilend op de knieën.
