Allein, ohne Dich, bei Dir [English translation]

The curtain fell silently to the ground

And I stood mute, wrapped in ice

Silently you went down the stairs

Looking down without looking back

Was it all here and now?

Were these words your final chord?

Seeking in vain the solution for us

Found so much, but she was not there

And so I stood for a long time

I just couldn't understand

What happened?

With me, with me alone, a fire was burning, but there was no light

Through you, through you, I've tried, but I could not forget you

With me, with me, alone with me, introduced me as you kiss me

Through you, through you, I stood in flames, was alone without you, with you

Like in purgatory, without ceiling and floor

Locked in the deepest nowhere

There was no bottom and unfortunately no top

I could think of it, the mood so times

Wanted to be close, wanted to feel you

Don't stand with your back to the wall

Could look, but find you nowhere

The uncertainty was hardly to be overcome

And so I stood for a long time

I just could not understand

What happened?
