ITALIAN TRANSLATION: ___________________ Cristallo Non cercare alle mie labbra la tua bocca, non davanti alla porta lo straniero, non dentro l’occhio la lacrima.

German Original Text _________________ Kristall Nicht an meinen Lippen suche deinen Mund, nicht vorm Tor den Fremdling, nicht im Aug die Träne. Sieben Nächte höher wandert Rot zu Rot, sieben Herzen tiefer pocht die Hand ans Tor, sieben Rosen später rauscht der Brunnen.
