Stillborn children*

We don't want to live
You must forgive us
We don't want to grow up
You must forgive us
 
Long planned and well thought,
Until the grim reaper1 laughs
Pregnancy2 is the prognosis
Its gender is still unknown
 
The lovers don't care
Because it doesn't matter to them
Both pray secretly:
Let it be happy and cheerful
 
Stillborn children are on the way
To show you the way
High up into the sea of stars.
Stillborn children want to part
Want to avoid life
It's not a difficult choice for them
 
Look at your world, so unconscious and cold,
How could I live here?
Long was the time alone in mother's womb,
Now I will strive for freedom
 
Hold me tight in your arms,
Silently, but still quite warm,
Don't hold me too long
So I can escape!
 
Bleak and free
Distant, but never too far
I'll shine brightly,
So your tears will dry quickly
 
Stillborn children are on the way
To show you the way
High up into the sea of stars.
Stillborn children want to part
Avoid life
It's not a difficult choice for them
 
Stillborn children are on the way
To show you the way
High up into the sea of stars
Stillborn children want to shine
And angels cry
When the child is shining in the sky
 
  • 1. Not sure.
  • 2. Zuwachs can mean both pregancy and growth.
