| At the Altar |
 |
| Pointessly the cathedral stands In sophisticated times, today - Just a few lovers with ruined Souls come here to rave. |
| 1881-1957 |
 |
| In Altar |
| Sta fara noima catedrala Azi, intr-un secol rafinat - Doar de mai vin sa delireze Amanti cu suflet ruinat. |
| ... Si delirand, cand corul curge Se face gandul mai amar - Ei vor o noapte de orgie Pe canapeaua din altar ... |
 |
 |
| ... And raving, while the choir's in flight This thought grows more bitter - They want an orgiastic night On the bed at the altar ... |
