1945 [English translation]

You sleep there now on your own side

Your pale brittle skin is like paper

You sleep on like a young man

You wake up only when it's morning

Through winters, over summers

I've lain by your side

Our wedding day was warm

in June 1945.

What I knew then to be right

it still is so.

And when the cold wind blows,

the cold wind blows,

takes you into eternity.

don't you worry about me,

worry about me,

then the road takes me to your side.

You always drink your black coffee on the same chair

You still bring flowers on Friday evenings

Am I still just as beautiful

beautiful like she was too.

You thought that I'd never notice

I wondered for a long time why I stay

Our wedding day was warm

in June 1945.

What I knew then to be right

it still is so.

And when the cold wind blows,

the cold wind blows,

takes you into eternity.

don't you worry about me,

worry about me,

then the road takes me to your side.

Let's sleep, darling, we're both tired

I am here at your side always and now
