Andere Hände [English translation]

I pass you along because I fail at myself

Wish you a better life.

I can't give it to you

I wanted to avoid it, I had to decide that

your future should be better than mine.

It's better that way, because I don't have any.

I wrote it to you, I will love you forever

My hands are bound, still haven't found an exit

I beg you to forgive me

I wish it could be different

You came far too early for me

I give you into other hands

What I have is not enough for you

I am without strength

because at the end there's noone to carry us.

I put you into a better life.
