Anyone have a translation ...
... of that German note?

I don't read German and can't cut and paste it and *really* don't want to spend 30 minutes typing it all into a translator ...

How about choose to the language you can read?

Uh, what german note? I seriously didn't find it. Was it all written in German? Could you post a screen shot of it?

It's really early on, probably within the first 5 minutes in one of the larger rooms in the mansion.

Language pack bug, maybe?

I dunno but it would be pretty damn immersion-breaking to find it while playing, lol.
All the other notes I've found have been in English.

The thing in the room with all the animals?

There's a note with a german poem, that's what OP is talking about, it's in german regardless of what languaje you pick for the game

I don't get why they would put in something like that, that only people who read German could understand, how is it advancing the plot to anyone else? O.o Some method of translating easily would have been nice.

I didn't get the point of the German note either. I thought maybe it would be explained later on or something.

Where is this German note, since I didn't find it. ._.

I think it's somewhere near the dining table after you get off the attic, or was it near the piano?

I stuffed a little of it into google. It appears to be a lullaby. The title translated as "This Heart."

The first few lines (rough) are:
Sleep my child, sleep
This heart beats under my hand
And I (weigh yourself)
In this open wound
This heart.

Gently flowing through me,
And your heart belongs to me
And I (weigh yourself)
And I send my love in
This heart.

Dream (of) holy wounds
Will bleed
And the angel of mourning
Sleep only to see
My child, and I
will rock you.

I think it means:

Sleep my child, sleep
Your heart beats under my hand
And I weigh it,
This open wound, this heart.

Flowing gently through me,
your heart belongs to me
I think of this
And send you my love,
in this heart.

Dream of holy wounds
that bleed,
and the angel of mourning
Sleep only to see,
My child, and I
will rock you.

Added screenshot of the note so someone can take a crack at it. I'm sure it's mangled by google and made worse by me. I took it as a bizarre lullaby that focuses on one of the major symbols/metaphors of the game: the heart. The rest of my thoughts on that are major spoilers. But maybe someone else can translate this.
