Laaber, Otto: The Drum (Die Trommel in English)

Portre of Laaber, Otto

Die Trommel (German)

Bespannt die Trommel

mit der Haut vom Menschen

 

damit sie dröhne

die große Trommel

 

die Trommel Zeit

die vom Ruhm Einiger laut redet

 

Weniger laut von Anderen

deren Haut nur gut war

die Trommel der Zeit

zu bespannen

The Drum (English)

Cover the drum

with human skin

 

so that it resounds

the great drum

 

the drum of time

of the fame of some

 

and less loudly of those

whose skin served only

to cover

the drum of time
