"Winternacht" is about a snow-covered world where Eleonor walks lonely through the white void with only the wind as her partner.
She dreams of spring and how green the fields should be, but the reality is cold and sad....
lyrics
Verschneit liegt rings die ganze Welt,
Ich hab nichts, was mich freuet,
Verlassen steht der Baum im Feld,
Hat längst sein Laub verstreuet.
Der Wind nur geht bei stiller Nacht
Und rüttelt an dem Baume,
Da rührt er seinen Wipfel sacht
Und redet wie im Traume.
Er träumt von künft'ger Frühlingszeit,
Von Grün und Quellenrauschen,
Wo er im neuen Blütenkleid
Und redet wie im Traume.
In Träumen.
--
English:
The whole world is covered in snow,
I have nothing to be happy about,
Forsaken stands the tree in the field,
Has long since scattered its leaves.
The wind only goes by silent night
And shakes the tree,
There he touches his top gently
And talks as if in a dream.
He dreams of the future springtime,
Of green and the murmur of springs,
Where he in the new blossom dress
And talks as if in a dream.
In dreams.
