Abschied Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Jonotheintrepid 

Cover art for Abschied lyrics by Nico

Here is my translation:

The Parting/ Farewell

I profess to his spirit A longing to consume his beautiful face That tires, is shadowed by goodness and is almighty*

His body does not move In dreams his force finally forgets itself

In a howling cheer, that breaks the holy peace to me, I recognize you; Your silent mouth, your sleeping breast Await tenderly the sweet joy

Your body does not move In dreams his force finally forgets itself.

*This is the one line I have trouble with, if someone can contribute a better translation I would appreciate it.
