Nachtflug/ Night Flight/ Vuelo Nocturno
Im Nachtflug allein
Am Boden nur spärliche Lichter
Postflug über die Pampa
Exupéry zwischen Himmel und Erde
Einsamer Flug ins stille Nichts
------------------------------------------
Alone in nocturnal flight
Only sparse lights on the ground
Courier flight over the pampa
Exupéry between heaven and earth
Lonely flight into silent nowhere
-------------------------------------------
Solo en vuelo nocturno
Solamente dispersas luces en la tierra
Vuelo correo sobre la pampa
Exupéry entre el cielo y la tierra
Vuelo solitario en la tranquila nada
Note: French pilot and author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900-1944) was worldwide famous

Northern Africa. During a reconnaissance flight in 1944 he was reported missing over the
Mediterranean Sea
