Sehnsucht [English translation]

My eyes are open but I don't see outwards.

I look inside, want to be internalised.

Turn on the internal light, what's going to be there?

What entered me?

The yearning, the yearning.

Like a blind person who seeks the vision

For he doesn't seek just anyone.

We see us.

Some ask how time passes by,

how time passes by, how time passes by.

I wonder how time begins

how time begins, how time begins.

In which I live notedly long

with a distinct yearning.

Which comes and goes, comes and goes.

Some ask how time passes by.

I wonder how time begins

in which I live notedly long

with a distinct yearning.

Which comes and goes and stands and falls

with all my impressions of this world.

Of the craven hero who tells nothing

because he lacks the courage long ago.

I miss the yearning

I miss the yearning.

Like a blind person who seeks the vision

for he doesn't seek just anyone.

We see us.

I miss the yearning.

I miss the yearning.

I miss the yearning.
