Gently and Softly*
When it starts
it starts gently and softly.
Don't you see, my friends, don't
you see? For
who wants to live
when he has no
breath, the black
sail always hoisted.
Who wants to live
when he has no breath,
the black sail always hoisted,
the day only a night,
the night only a day,
when everything goes and
nothing more comes and
never will come again.
During the day, the desolation
so loved, so hated.

*Mild und Leise, Gently and Softly are the opening words to Isolde's final monologue before she expires over the body of Tristan in Wagner's opera.
помимо цитат из предсмертной арии Изольды, Liebestod, есть дополнительные аллюзии на всю оперу "Тристан и Изольда"
