Kabarett zum roten Strich. Leise flog der bunte Vogel Über Busch und über Kogel Unabänderlich. Du und ich und dies und das Unter Buchen auf dem Moose -- Eine kleine weiße Rose Nahmst du aus dem Wasserglas. Einmal fand ich deinen Schenkel Kleine Rose milder Gier. Große Mutter warst du mir, Und ich war dir wie ein Enkel. So wie wenn ich sterben müßte, Dreizehn Jahre alt und jung, Nebel und Erinnerung Fiel ich zwischen deine Brüste.

To the cabaret on Brothel Street Blithely flew a colored bird Over bush and mountain top Inevitably. You and I and this and that Under beeches and on the moss -- A small white rose You'd lifted from a water glass. Once I found in your thighs The little rose of gentle desire. A real mother were you to me, And to you I was like a grandchild. So when I come to die, Having been thirteen years old and young, Mist and memories Will recall that time between your breasts.
