Begeistert [Ich bin unsichtbar] [English translation]

The sight of me so familiar

So I stay invisible

Hardly looked upon

I am also becoming forgotten already

I stay unnoticed

And yet I’m always there

And no one can wholly

Appreciate my work

We perceive ourselves, we keep up appearances

Tonight! Forever! We get involved

Only you and I are real here

And everything else doesn’t matter

All that counts is that we’re visible

You to me and I to you

The rest of the world is deaf and blind

And unimportant

I need no audience

And never earn applause

I serve still and silently

And undeterred

I’m not really here

Yet I never go out

And no door

Truly remains locked to me

(Refrain x 2)

All that counts is that we're visible

The rest of the world is deaf and dumb and blind
