Totes Kind / Little dead boy

(original)
Gestern zählt' ich noch kein Sieben,
Doch heut' bin ich schon tausend jähr',
Und scheint mein Leib auch gleich geblieben,
Ist meine Seel' dem Tod doch nah'.
Wo vormals bunte Blumen waren,
Wetteifernd in Wuchs und Farbenpracht,
Hat meine Welt ihr Licht verloren
Und geht zugrund'… In ew’ger Nacht.
Hungernd nach Sinn und bettelnd um Stille,
Lieg' angstvoll träumend im Dunkeln ich wach,
Mit der Scham sich verbündend,
Lähmt Schuld meinen Willen…
Und alsbald werd' ich selbst zum Sterben zu schwach.
Dies gleich der Verdammnis, dem ewigen Leid,
Wenn alles nur mehr schmerzvoll und elend erscheint!..
(translation)
Yesterday I didn't count seven
But today I am already a thousand years old,
And my body seems to have stayed the same
My soul is near death.
Where once there were colorful flowers,
Competing in growth and colour,
My world has lost its light
And perishes... In eternal night.
Hungering for meaning and begging for silence,
I lie awake, anxious, dreaming in the dark,
allied with shame,
Guilt paralyzes my will...
And soon I'll be too weak to die myself.
This is like damnation, eternal suffering,
When everything just seems more painful and miserable!..
