Du gehst fort [English translation]

You are going away...

My dear, it's nothing

Only weeks, which will soon pass by

You are going away...

I leave my dreams here with you

Until we see each other again

You are going away...

And our love holds us together

What can happen to us anyway?

You are going away...

After a separation one can often

Love and understand each other better

You are going away...

Like the setting sun

Like summer days which fade away

I feel as if winter is coming

I am feeling more and more anxious and cold

You are going away...

The world is dark all around us

No bird sings on its branch any more

I am worried about you, about me

I fear the silence

You are going away...

My dear, it's nothing

A parting doesn't mean very much

You are going away...

You know very well that destiny can call

Sometimes without asking us first

You are going away...

If you just stay faithful to me

Then the separation can be tolerated

You are going away...

Every morning the heart will

Be full of yearning and beat faster

You are going away...

I am alone and lost here

As in the worst days of childhood

I feel as if winter is coming

I am feeling more and more anxious and cold

You are going away...

Suddenly everything becomes dark

The world doesn't make any sense any more

I am worried about you, about me

I fear the silence...
