Der Dunkle SternIch liege Mein Bett ist ErdeUnter dem Himmel bin ichAugen groβ aber immer blickendSehe ich den dunklen Stern.Keine Wolke über mirSondern eine schwarze Decke.Ich höre den Wind,Höre die Bäume, höre den FlussAber ich sehe nichts, nichtsNur den dunklen SternIch bin in meiner HeimatDieser Platz ist meine HeimatDer dunkle Stern scheint über sieAber niemand sieht ihnIch sehe nur den dunklen Stern.The Dark StarI lie downMy bed is earthUnderneath the skyEyes wide yet always blinkingAll I see is the dark star.No clouds above meRather a dark blanket.I hear the wind,Hear the trees, hear the riverBut I see nothing, nothingOnly the dark star.I am at homeThis place is my homeThe dark star shines over But no one sees Only I see the dark star.
