Und wir werden zusammen schweigen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
         Und wir werden zusammen schweigen -
       und ich werde mein Haupt an dich legen -
       und du wirst dein Haupt auf mich neigen -
          und ich werde den Nacken bewegen
           und deinen Lippen entgegenstreben
                               und Leben
                         von ihnen trinken
                        und ihnen spenden -
             und wieder zurück dann sinken
            und Brust nur und Wimper noch regen -
     und dann werden wir wieder zusammen schweigen -

        um dann aber das Schweigen zu enden -
             und aber zu enden in Schweigen -
                          in ewigen Wenden.

Et ensemble nous ferons silence
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Et ensemble nous ferons silence
et je poserai ma tête sur toi,
et tu inclineras ta tête sur moi --
et je remuerai le cou
et je chercherai à atteindre tes lèvres
et d'elles boire
la vie,
et la leur donner,
et me retourner puis  fléchir
et juste la poitrine et les cils encore bouger,
et puis ensemble nous ferons encore silence --

pour ensuite mettre fin au mutisme,
mais alors pour mettre fin au mutisme
dans un éternel tournoiement.
