Original text and translations

German text Aus der Heimat hinter den Blitzen rot Da kommen die Wolken her, Aber Vater und Mutter sind lange tot, Es kennt mich dort keiner mehr. Wie bald, ach wie bald kommt die stille Zeit, Da ruhe ich auch, und über mir Rauscht die schöne Waldeinsamkeit, Und keiner kennt mich mehr hier.

English translation Where once at home I laid my head stormclouds fill the air, but Father and Mother are long since dead and no one remembers me there. How soon, how soon and with what ease the time of rest draws near: the wind will rustle through the trees and none will remember me here. Translation by Mick Swithinbank
