Translations: german ([Schon dunkel gleitet])

[Že temno zdrsna]

Že temno zdrsne
sonce
za otoki visoki
onkraj preliva;

tako je poljub
prej, kot so usta.

Language: german

[Schon dunkel gleitet]

Schon dunkel gleitet
die Sonne
hinter die hohe Insel
jenseits der Bucht;

erst war der Kuss,
und dann der Mund.
