I'm restless: the moon
stands still while it is moving --
imperturbably.
Ik ben onrustig:	Ich bebe: der Mond
de maan staat onverstoorbaar --	steht still und er bewegt sich --
stil te bewegen.	unerschütterlich.

through the lonely dreariness --
of my empty head.
De maan trekt een boog	Der Mond zieht einen
door het eenzame duister --	Bogen durch die Dunkelheit --
van mijn lege hoofd.	in meinem Schädel.

at night people are inside --

are moving across the sky --

er wolken langs de hemel --	Wolken über den Himmel --
De maan is ver weg.	Der Mond ist weit weg.

high above the rolling snow --
My heart starts pounding.
Koude wintermaan	Kalter Wintermond
boven de glooiende sneeuw --	über dem hügligen Schnee --
Mijn hart raakt van slag.	Mein Herz schlägt schneller.
