Every (single) word is a lie
All hearts are unfaithful
The soul is sad and miserable
The soul is silent is hesitant
“Go, leave!” says the devil
“Leave quietly without a sound”
And … while you’re leaving
Don’t think that they will cry and smart after you
From this world,
From friend and from enemy
I’ve had my share (I’ve got enough)
And I’m leaving
With my sins
With my good deeds
To find a (new) chance for me
I’m going
Even if in the course of time
A fine pain enters into my heart
And a mysterious fire comes
to burn me. I’m (still) leaving
From this life,
From love and from passion
I’ve had my share
And I’m leaving
With my sins
With my good deeds
To seek and find my own luck
I’m going
Every (single) feeling is worn out
All looks are meaningless
The soul got enough and it’s fed up
The soul has broken down untimely
“Go, leave!” says the devil
“Leave quietly without a sound”
And … while you’re leaving
Don’t think that someone will cry out “stay!” after you
