Allein in Griechenland [English translation]

If only you could see me, in faded jeans

here in the harbor of Piraeus,

holding a glassful of red wine.

After our fight,

only three days before, I took a flight to Athens,

wanting to prove I could make it even without you.

Alone in Greece – on a road, destination unknown.

That’s my life, how I feel, not looking back.

Alone in Greece – lost between Sun,

Wind and Sea,

and only, quite rarely, just for an instant,

longing for you.

I’m a stranger here, and yet I’m among people

telling me: Come and make yourself at home

Might be that I will forget

in this way what I’m really lacking.

I dream about being free

but I notice without you it will always be but a dream -

for the sun warms just the skin,

but my heart is frozen.

Alone in Greece – on a road, destination unknown.

That’s my life, how I feel, not looking back.

Alone in Greece – lost between Sun,

Wind and Sea,

and only quite rarely longing for you

just for an instant.

Alone in Greece – lost between Sun,

Wind and Sea, but at some time

I shall miss you so much and I shall come back to you.
