Text example

Liberation (set to music by Vilma von Webenau )

Spring moved with mild breezes

Through the country on an easy hike

In silver kittens, bitter scents

The floodplain appears by the brown river

I still had bitterness in my blood

And senses that no song gave birth to

Da drove in loose high spirits

The young spring through my hair

Well! I am already driven by violence

Like flower petals, far across the country

I am allowed to redesign while floating

You little song that came to me
