An deiner Seite [English translation]

I can be extremely sad

or (I can be) extremely elated,

I am the one, the one who is endlessly silent

And the one, the one who sings loud songs.

I can hurt to the utmost

And have been hurt to the utmost

My fears are immense

But my hope is dashed in the end

[Refrain]

I get lost in thoughts,

You pull me back in,

For as the iron unperturbed one

I have you, my greatest happiness

My life is like a street

Always and ever leading me home,

For even in the greatest distance

I'd like to be at your side.

My patience is endless,

But I can't bear it

When it is expressed in a thousand words

When just three is needed.

I am a gigantic iceberg

Melting equally fast

I need boundless freedom

As long as I'm not lonely.

[Refrain]

My position in life is steady as a rock

Floating aimlessly at sea

I create for myself intricacies

Where it would otherwise be so simple,

I'm a dreamer without hope

And a rigorous (relentless) realist

Quite self-assured I jump every hurdle

If only you are at my side

[Refrain]
