Translated by A. Z. Foreman - Night Came into My House lyrics

Night came into my house with the roar of stars, of wings, of cataracts, with the glow of fogs, of swamps, of long dirt tracks. I lay tense and dark. Trees came into my house, Looming huge with trunks and roots earth-packed And primeval deep glances of leaves from branches. And bizarrely big clouds Came with thunder and laughter Like the darkling heads of the gods. All of them whirled wild and lorn and hard, All of them howled "you are, you are, you are". I lay tense and dark.
