Title	Der Kerzen Schein...
Text Submitted by MarÃa17	Source language: Nemacki Der Kerzen Schein Er leuchtet fahl Als das Sonnenlicht er stahl Und nur das gro_e Himmelszelt Bezeugt das Ende dieser Welt Des Mondes Schein Er leuchtet fahl Das Herz der Finsternis er stahl Nun glei_end Lichte ihn umgibt Und doch des Menschen Hoffnung siegt...?
Remarks about the translation	Any English... :)

Title	The candlelight...
Translation Engleski Translated by Urunghai	Target language: Engleski The candlelight It's shining faintly When he stole the sunlight And only the great canopy bears witness to the end of this world The moonlight It's shining faintly The heart of darkness he stole Now twinkling light surrounds him And still people's hope triumphs...?
Remarks about the translation	I don't know if the light is meant with "er" (possible), if it is, "he/him" should be replaced with "it".

"The moonlight" for "Des Mondes Schein" is of course correct as regards content, but I'd say "The glow/shine of the moon" (even more precise). Same with the last sentence, "And still, the people's/men's hope triumphs" (because it is genitive in German). Sorry if I'm a bit meticulous
