Come in my boat
A storm comes and
Night's sinking day
Where will you go
You're so alone
You drift away
Who shall hold your hand
When you are
Pulled underneath
Where will you go
So endless
The chilling sea
Come in my boat
The sails are trim
In Autumn's breeze
While there you stand beside the lantern
Tears streaking down your face
The daylight falls to one side
The autumn winds clear the streets
While there you stand beside the lantern
Tears streaking down your face
The twilight chases off the shadows
Time freezes and autumn's here
Come in my boat
Yearning is
The helmsman
Come in my boat
I was once the
Best seaman
While there you stand beside the lantern
Tears streaking down your face
You take away the candle's flame
Time freezes and autumn's here
They only spoke about your mother
Only the night is so cruel
In the end I am alone
Time freezes
And I am cold

My love
My lover
My lover, you, my love for you
My love for you is no more or less
Than your love for me was
When your love was for me
There was beauty, now it's gone
There was heat, and now there's none
All the clocks are standing still
Laughing is all wrong, and before long
I seek sight beyond the light
Where are you, where are you
Oh I won't survive alone
Where are you, where are you
There was beauty, now it's gone
There was heat, now there's none
All the clocks stand still
Laughing is all wrong, and before long
I seek some sight beyond the light
Where are you, where are you
Oh I won't survive alone
Where are you, where are you
I'm looking under every stone
Where are you, where are you
I sleep with my knife prone
Where are you...

LILT: Mutter 3.1
The ancient children shed cold tears
I thread those onto a white hair
I hurl the whole thing in the air
And wish that I had my own mother
No sun shines down on me
There's no milk-filled breast to feed
There's a tube that chokes my gullet
I've no navel on my stomach
Mother
I've had no nipple on which to suckle
I've had no warm place I was tucked in
I've never had a proper naming
Sired in haste and without semen
To the mother that never bore me
I have on this night sworn
To send her a painful fever
Then submerge her in the river
Mother
In her lungs there lives an eel
On my forehead the mark is sealed
I'll cut it out with a knife
Even if it ends my life
Mother
In her lungs there lives an eel
On my forehead the mark is sealed
Purge it with a knife's keen edge
Even if I bleed to death
Mother
Oh grant me strength
[lyrics][discuss]
I'm not sure. I've gone back to 'mother' in verse one (as opposed to mère), but I may go back. I've also fixed the rhythmic issues in verse three.

LILT: Morgenstern 3.0
So ugly the heavens hide
When she looks toward the sky
The face rays fear to show
A visage they light from below
During the day she must hide
So she doesn't scare the light
She lives in shadow until fall of dusk
Then sees the shining star and dares to ask
Paint my face with your beauty
Morning Star, oh shine
On this mask of mine
Let your light embrace
My dreadful deface
Tell me I am not maligned
Ugly, you are ugly. You, you are ugly.
I went alone into the dark
I no longer hear the larks
I saw sun-children in the crowd, and so
I wept into the clouds
Morning Star, oh shine
On this love of mine
Let your light embrace
Her dreadful deface
Tell her she is not maligned
Morning Star, oh shine
On this soul of mine
May your warm light mend
A heart that is rent
Tell her that I'm weeping
Because you're so ugly
You are plainly ugly
People live by their eyes
Grace is what they want to find
But you, you are no dream, no
Morning Star, oh shine
On this love of mine
Let your light embrace
Her dreadful deface
Tell her she is not maligned
And the star will shine
On this love of mine
It warms my grieved heart
My most vital part
It can see its cure
She is all allure
Promoted.

LILT: Nebel 3.0
I've made some pretty major changes, including standardising the rhyming formula across the whole song. Till has varied the rhyming order from verse to verse. My English adaption works better with an AABB rhythm across the board, so I've shuffled lines within each verse. I also think it may be finished:
Embracing as one they stand
Where land and sea meet to hold hands
One being since their lost youth
She wants to tell him the cruel truth
But her words tear in the wind
Trembling she takes his warm hand
And she kisses his broad brow
And the sea will not lie down
Deep in her breast blooms darkest night
She lies her tired head on his thigh
As she will soon face the abyss
She asks him for one last, sweet kiss
And then he gives her her kiss
Her soft lips pale as mist
His eyes, dimming, become drowned
And the sea seems to lie down
That last kiss is
So far away
That last kiss was...
The memories decay
When I hear this song I see an autumnal beach on a grey, gusty day, with an older couple clinging together while dealing with a very sad situation. I see rough seas, with spray blowing from the crests of the waves, creating a cold, wet mist. It's a tragedy. I find the couple uplifting and encouraging though. They've had a lifetime of being joined as a single entity, and only later in life do they have to face its loss.

Where the sea and land hold hands
She wants to tell him the cruel truth

Where the sea comes to lie down
Trembling she takes his warm hand
And she kisses his handsome brow
Deep in her breast roosts the twilight
And she will soon face the abyss
She lies her tired head on his thigh
And asks him for one last, sweet kiss
And then he gives her her kiss
Her lips are pale and soft
Where the sea comes to lie down
His eyes are swiftly drowned
That last kiss is

That last kiss was
His mind has been decayed

You're so alone

Who shall hold your hand
When you are

Come in my boat

So there you stand beside the lantern
Tears streaking down your face
The daylight falls to one side
The autumn winds clear the streets
So there you stand beside the lantern
Tears streaking down your face
The twilight chases off the shadows
Time freezes and autumn's here
Come in my boat
The helmsman is
A yearning
Come in my boat
I was once the

So there you stand beside the lantern
Tears streaking down your face
You take away the candle's flame

Only the night is so cruel
In the end I am alone

They're calling to me to open the door.
Interest screams, what could there be here?
Behind the door stands a clavier.
The keys are dusty, the strings are out of tune.
Behind the door she sits at the clavier.
She doesn't play it though. That was long ago.
At the clavier I listened to her.
And when she began to play she took my breath away.
She said to me I will always be here.
But it seemed to be she only played with me.
I shed her blood to dam fury's flood.
I locked her away and then they came.
At the clavier I listened to her.
And when she began to play she took my breath away.
At the clavier I stood there with her.
And it seemed to be she only played for me.
They've opened the door. Oh how they cry.
Her distraught mother pleads. Her father strikes out at me.
They take her away and no-one believes me here.
That I went insane, from the stench and the pain.
At the clavier I listened to her.
And when she began to play she took my breath away.
At the clavier she listened to me.
And when I began to play I took her breath away.

And all the paths fade away for good
Here only empty, dark trees soar
Woe is me
And the birds will sing no more
Without you my self has flown
Without you
With you I'm also alone
Without you
Without you I mark the hours I'm without you
With you time's standing still
And nothing's true
Under branches down in the drains
Deathly silence endures aside from the rain
And the need to breathe becomes a flaw
Woe is me
And the birds will sing no more
Without you my self has flown
Without you
With you I'm also alone
Without you
Without you I mark the hours I'm without you
With you time's standing still
And nothing's true without you
Without you
And the need to breathe becomes a flaw
Woe is me
And the birds will sing no more
Without you my self has flown
Without you
With you I'm also alone
Without you
Without you I mark the hours I'm without you
With you time's standing still
And nothing's true without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you

I had to push it...
This place is where I last saw her
But the land wears night's darkened hood
And all the paths fade away for good
Here only empty, dark trees soar
Woe is me
And the birds will sing no more
Without you my self has flown
Without you
With you I'm also alone
Without you
Without you I mark the hours I'm without you
With you time's standing still
And nothing's true
Under branches down in the drains
Deathly silence endures aside from the rain
And the need to breathe becomes a flaw
Woe is me
And the birds will sing no more
Without you my self has flown
Without you
With you I'm also alone
Without you
Without you I mark the hours I'm without you
With you time's standing still
And nothing's true without you

Woe is me
And the birds will sing no more
Without you my self has flown
Without you

With you time's standing still
And nothing's true without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you

LILT: Seeman 1.0
Come in my boat
A storm comes and
Night's falling now
Where will you go
You're so alone
You drift away
Who shall hold your hand
When you are
Pulled underneath
Where will you go
So eternal
The chilling sea
Come in my boat
The sails are trim
In Autumn's wind
Now there you stand beside the lantern
Tears streaking down your face
The daylight falls to one side
The autumn winds clear the streets
Now there you stand beside the lantern
Tears streaking down your face
The twilight chases off the shadows
Time freezes and autumn's here
Come in my boat
The helmsman is
The yearning
Come in my boat
The best seaman
was once me
Now there you stand beside the lantern
Tears streaking down your face
You take away the candle's flame
Time freezes and autumn's here
They only spoke about your mother
Only the night is so cruel
In the end I am alone
Time freezes
And I am cold

LILT: Rosenrot 1.1
A young lady once spied a rose
Up the mountain where they grow
So she had then asked her beloved
If the rose could be recovered
She really wants it which is fine
That's how it has been throughout time
Such whims are often met
What she desires she shall get
Truly deep wells must be bored
If clear water's what you seek
Rosenrot oh Rosenrot
Undercurrents run down deep
The tortured boy then climbs the tor
The vista's not what he's there for
A small rose his only care
Which he retrieves for his dear
She really wants it which is fine
That's how it has been throughout time
Such whims are often met
What she desires she shall get
Truly deep wells must be bored
If clear water's what you seek
Rosenrot oh Rosenrot
Undercurrents run down deep
Truly deep wells must be bored
If clear water's what you seek
Rosenrot oh Rosenrot
Undercurrents run down deep
But when his stony foothold breaks
He thinks his route a mistake
His scream then informs all
He and the red rose have fallen
She really wants it which is fine
That's how it has been throughout time
Such whims are often met
What she desires she shall get
Truky deep wells must be bored
If clear water's what you seek
Rosenrot oh Rosenrot
Undercurrents run down deep

LILT: Klavier 1.2
I've been working over Klavier, thinking about what my interpretation of Jeremy's interpretation is saying, going over it in my head, trying to make sense. I find I have a problem with the following:
She said to me I will always be here.
But it seemed to be she only played for me.
I want line two to say 'But it seemed to be she only played with me'. That makes much more sense to me, given the presence of the 'but', which seems to negate the first line, implying she's not being honest.
I'm not entirely sure how precise Jeremy is in his translation; whether he takes poetic licence at all, or whether it's as close to verbatim as it can be, and still make sense, but I'm going with my gut:
They're calling to me to open the door.
Interest screams, what could there be here?
Behind the door stands a clavier.
The keys are dusty, the strings out of tune.
Behind the door she sits at the clavier.
She doesn't play it though. That was long ago.
At the clavier I listened to her.
And when she began to play she took my breath away.
She said to me I will always be here.
But it seemed to be she only played with me.
I shed her blood to dam fury's flood.
I locked her away and then they came.
At the clavier I listened to her.
And when she began to play she took my breath away.
At the clavier I stood there with her.
And it seemed to be she only played for me.
They've opened the door. Oh how they cry.
Her distraught mother pleads. Her father strikes out at me.
They take her away and noone believes me here.
That I went insane, from the stench and the pain.
At the clavier I listened to her.
And when she began to play she took my breath away.
At the clavier she listened to me.
And when I began to play I took her breath away.

LILT: Ohne Dich 3.0
I stand alone amongst the firs
This place is where I last saw her
But the land wears night's darkened hood
And all the paths fade away for good
Here only empty, dark trees soar
Woe is me
And the birds will sing no more
Without you all hope has flown
Without you
With you I'm also alone
Without you
Without you I count the hours I'm without you
With you time stands so still
But nothing's true
Under branches down in the drains
It's gone silent aside from the rain
And the need to breathe becomes a flaw
Woe is me
And the birds will sing no more
Without you all hope has flown
Without you
With you I'm also alone
Without you
Without you I count the hours I'm without you
With you time stands so still
But nothing's true without you
Without you
And the need to breathe becomes a flaw
Woe is me
And the birds will sing no more
Without you all hope has flown
Without you
With you I'm also alone
Without you
Without you I count the hours I'm without you
With you time stands so still
But nothing's true without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you

No changes made. I'm promoting it, as I've gone over it countless times in the past few days and am happy. It's officially 'possibly finished'. Check out that commitment...
