The orchestra climbs,
in rain and mist, the mountain --
above the maelstrom.
Het orkest beklimt	Im Nebel erklimmt
in regen en mist de berg --	das Orchester den Gipfel --
boven de maalstroom.	über den Mahlstrom.

My adventures just
seem like dreams within a dream --
A dream of my own?
Mijn ervaringen	Was ich erlebe,
lijken dromen in een droom --	kommt mir vor wie Träume in --
Is die van mijzelf?	einem Traum, von mir?
