Draußn im Hoiz, drom im Karst
Out in the wood, up in the karst
Zerst flatterts, dann kracht a Ast
First a flutter, then the crack of a branch
I schaug in a boa diafe Augn
I look in a pair of deep eyes
Doch so ganz ko i ech ned traun
But I can't quite trust you
Schaugst mi o, Herenvogel
You look at me, witch bird
Und weid... weid naus in d' Nåcht
And out into the wide, wide night
Nachteule... schaugst, ois siagatst Bluad an meine Hädn
Night owl, you look as though you see blood on my hands
Nachteule... ois ob du mi irgendwia dakennst
Night owl, as though you recognise me somehow
Nachteule... so, ois wiad i mei Sünd dia beichtn
Night owl, as though I'd confess my sins to you
I dakenn di ned, åba du mi woi scho
I don't recognise you, but it seems like you know me
Was verbindet uns - Oda glabst as bloß
What unites us? Or is that just what you think
Du ruafst de Nåcht und i hea zua
You call the night, and I listen
Diaf in mia... diaf in deine Augn
Deep in me, deep in your eyes
Schaugst mi o, Herenvogel
You look at me, witch bird
Und weid... weid naus in d' Nåcht
And out into the wide, wide night
Ziag weida, Herenvogel
Fly on, witch bird
Auf da Jågd... weid naus in d' Nåcht.
On your hunt into the wide night
Nachteule... schaugst, ois siagatst Bluad an meine Hädn
Night owl, you look as thought you see blood on my hands
Nachteule... ois ob du mi irgendwia dakennst
Night owl, as though you recognise me somehow
Nachteule... so, ois wiad i mei Sünd dia beichtn
Night owl, as though I'd confess my sins to you
Wia diaf... wia diaf ko i schaugn
How deep, how deep can I look
Schaufst mi o, Herenvogel
You look at me, witch bird
Und weid... weid naus in d' Nåcht
And out into the wide, wide night
