Längesen [English translation]

Every time is like the first time we met

even if its over now

everything has changed

But you are still here

everything was floating but then it became clear

you were old

I was older

and now we met again

So much time has passed since then

Decades back

but I remember it clearly

why the love burned

for many different reasons

Why I never let it go and never gave up

even though my road were long and filled with bumps

I stood outside your door many times

so many letters so many songs

I remember every word, every line I wrote

a longing so great

remember every day I suffered

Have gone through life with a conviction

that I made changes

that meant something

Never answered never accommodative

a love so warm without it such a destiny

from winter to spring

then summer to autumn

even though times were hard, love comforted

hearts beating

we standing where we were

du you remember it as yesterday

the first time you smiled

as if I fell right down

on the ground and just died

Every time is like the first time we met

even if its over now

everything has changed

But you are still here

everything was floating but then it became clear

I was young you were younger

when we met for the first time

rushed by me quickly on the station platform

fell helplessly in love

undescribably stricken

like I way lying on the floor being beaten

contemplating your hair

when it was caught in the wind

like fainting on the top of a mountain from being scared of heights

since then I have been trapped in a net, charmed, spellbound

my heart in my knees

could not think either logically nor healthy

and every second passing by with you not around was hard

slowly started courting you from a distance with letters

but what i wrote didn't matter

You had not yet gotten caught not yet to understand

the love that existed that could just be brought home

but after a while

you answered my letters

my hopes grew

to then crumble

you moved abroad somewhere else

gave your hand to another man

and the letters that were written never arrived

but my heart was aflame and my desire was true

I never gave up on you when you disappeared

long days turned to night then years

Every time is like the first time we met

even if its over now

everything has changed

But you are still here

everything was floating but then it became clear

oooh

Now you stand there on the street

torn by time

the skin gray

your posture crooked

want to say something but i cant think clearly

feelings bubbling up without thinking back

fumbling forwards to meet with you

I take your hand

We burst out in laughter

it was so long ago

but it is still there

because the passion that we shared always returns

have a heart without wrinkles

it stays intact

and i never lost track of my dreams

could never reach far enough so I loved from a distance

now my train has arrived and its time to depart

get on never doubt a minute

because everything that soars has to land eventually

we cant look back even though my will is strong

we walk without touching the ground

Every time is like the first time we met

even if its over now

everything has changed

But you are still here

everything was floating but then it became clear

My memories held me up every day

you are like the air I breathe because

i never gave up when you disappeared

long days turned to nights then to years
