Far away in a Northern landscape, governed by rocks There's a dark body of water, surrounded by a forest Seeming bottomless, sunken trees drift in it Misty haze rises from the water, fills up the air. Every dusk I move to this place, my destiny To look there after my drowned love, long ago Because on the bottom of this pond, my darling stays And dreams the everlasting Dream of Eternity. Don't go too close ashore - Or else my darling reaches for you And draws you downwards to himself and Never lets you go. At this place we made love for the first time And in this pond you had to give your life Directed by destiny, I dive into this water To the bottom of it, till I can see his pale face. Don't go too close ashore - Or else my darling reaches for you And draws you downwards to himself and Never lets you go.
