Anfach fort [English translation]

The door was wide open, the room so empty

At first he thought that there would be someone there

But there was just a letter sitting there next to the telephone

She writes, she has left, she won’t let herself be beaten anymore

She’s now had enough, she can’t take anymore

She won’t see him and also won’t talk with him anymore.

She is simply gone

And no one knows where

Quietly and secretly

Simply up and away

Without an address.

She wants to forget it all, she just wants her peace

She is searching for a pair of shoes all her own in her life

They fit her well, and she can walk lightly in them

Only no more looking back, no more listening

On the line on the bill without much noise

Anything else will then get better again

She is simply gone ...

She’s fine abandoning the house and the furniture, and the money too

Just a quick cut and then never hear it again

She goes back to her job, and he knows that she enjoys that

The kids are old enough to understand this

When they turn sixteen they’ll probably have the same problem

Every now and then she will certainly call them

She is simply gone ...
