An alle Hinterbliebenen [English translation]

This here goes out to all the bereaved,

To all those loving beyond the grave

This here goes out to all the bereaved,

To all those loving beyond the grave

To those who stayed alive

To be in mourning,

Although it is true that we are different,

I would like to tell you

That I know how you feel

Then the ground under one's feet is simply washed away

When something as big as death

Burrows its way through life,

And yet it takes days

For one to feel something,

For one to lay, wounded, on the ground

What should be able to move you still?

You've lost what you love,

And that emptiness lets you feel

That you're still alive

How grotesque is that,

How love turns into pain,

Tearing you into pieces and breaking your heart

And you're shivering and freezing

And you feel cold on the inside,

And you get the feeling

That you'll never be able to love again

That powerlessness is followed by an anger

Which knows almost no limit

That's love

That's burning inside your heart,

And although you know time

And its rules,

That doesn't stand in the way of pain

For now

So you allow it,

And it forces its way inside you

You don't defend yourself anymore,

You let it in

And then you realize

That if it doesn't break you,

You will mature

And then you find out

That if you make it through,

You will grow

To all the bereaved

This here goes out to all the bereaved,

To all those loving beyond the grave

For you not to be alone

With your pain,

My sympathy,

From the bottom of my heart,

My sympathy

And until you're freed from the pain,

From the bottom of my heart, my sympathy

For you not to be alone

With your pain,

My sympathy,

From the bottom of my heart,

My sympathy

And until you're freed from the pain,

From the bottom of my heart, my sympathy

This here goes out to all the bereaved,

To all those loving beyond the grave

This here goes out to all the bereaved,

To all those loving beyond the grave

To those who stayed alive

To be in mourning,

Although it is true that we are different,

I would like to tell you

That no sorrows in this world can last long,

And that no one here is alone in mourning
