Als ich fortging [English translation]

When I went away the road was steep

Return again

Share her sorrow,

Make her sound

When I went away

The asphalt was hot

Return again

At every cost, talk her out of

What she knows

Nothing is infinite,

Realize it yet

I know,

You want to be infinite,

Weak and small.

Fire burns down,

When no one nourishes it any longer

I myself know it very well

What happens to you today.

When I went away,

The arms were empty,

Return again

Make it easier for her

Once again

Not that hard.

When I went away

A wind arrived

So weak

It did not knock me over

Under her roof of tears

I was weak.

Nothing is infinite,

Realize it yet

I know, you want to be infinite,

Weak and small.

Nothing is permanent,

That no one really wants

Even grief will then be

Weak and small
