Du nächtig todeskranker Mond Dort auf des Himmels schwarzem Pfühl, Dein Blick, so fiebernd übergroß, Bannt mich wie fremde Melodie. An unstillbarem Liebesleid Stirbst du, an Sehnsucht, tief erstickt, Du nächtig todeskranker Mond Dort auf des Himmels schwarzem Pfühl. Den Liebsten, der im Sinnenrausch Gedankenlos zur Liebsten schleicht, Belustigt deiner Strahlen Spiel - Dein bleiches, qualgebornes Blut, Du nächtig todeskranker Mond.

你這個消沈、病得要死的月亮 在天空的黑色布墊上, 你的眼神,如此熱情地睜大著, 迷惑著我,猶如遙遠的旋律一般。 愛情中無法平復的悲傷 使你死亡,死於渴望,完全的窒息 你這個消沈、病得要死的月亮 在天空的黑色布墊上。 情人,身處狂喜狀態 正漫不經心地往他的摯愛那兒去, 因你的光線演出的戲碼而感到有趣- 你那蒼白,生來就要折磨人的血 你這個消沈、病得要死的月亮!
