Blume - Einstürzende Neubauten

Chrysantemum for you I am a chrysantemum

Supernova, urgent star

Astera compositae for you I’ll be a dandelion

A thousand flowerettes in the sky

Or just a drop in the ocean

If you know my name

Don’t speak it out

It holds a power — as before

Liliacea a lily of the valley

A flower of saron

Helianthus annus for you I even be a sunflower

Do you hear my enlightening laughter?

Another reason to cut off an ear

You know my name, do you not?

Don’t say it For it is sacred, immovable — frozen

Rosa, anemone et nymphea albaill even be a waterlily,

A marygold, a rose

Or a little thistle

Euphorbia a blue dahlia, a black tulip

That’s where opinions differ

The scholars disagree

My name, should you know it Remains unspeakable

And is spoken — malediction
