Decay, hasten, O beloved bride,
to (make the bed in) our lonely camp!
rejected by the world, rejected by God,
I have hope only to you
Quick, adorn our chamber - the black-draped stretcher
the sighing lover shall reach your dwelling
Quick, make our bridal bed - the spring shall supply her with carnations
Clutch tenderly in your bosom my languishing body,
Stifle in your embrace my pain!
In worms dissolve thought and emotion
in ashes my burning heart.
Rich are you, O girl! - The dowry you give
the great, the verdant earth for me.
I suffer up here, but happy I shall be
down there with you.
To thesweet, enchanting suffocation of pleasure
bridal attendants dressed in black follow us.
The bells ring out our wedding song
and green curtains hide us.
When the storms out on the ocean prevail,
when the horrors the bloodied earth inhabit
when feuds rage, we slumber, however, both
in the golden serenity.
