Bis in alle Ewigkeit [English translation]

In the room above mine

a girl has been living year and day

wears the thick carpet down

walking up and down the room

while crying, loudly so loudly.

Walks and cries such hot tears

Walks and never lets me enter.

Cries as if grieving,

softening up the old timber piling.

Teardrops seep through the ceiling

splash into my bed.

For all eternity, for all eternity

She is damned to wander

Until someone goes and frees her

Until someone goes and frees her

She must wander on, always wander on

The one time she went out

I went and scaled the wall.

Held tight to green kudzu

pushed open the casement window.

What I saw was pure horror,

for I was standing in her nightmare.

Everything was as black as tar

all walls and the floor

no color remained anywhere.

What fate was this girl suffering?

I didn't understand the world anymore.

For all eternity, for all eternity

She is damned to wander

Until someone goes and frees her

Until someone goes and frees her

She must wander on, always wander on

And she cries for all eternity

For all eternity, for all eternity

She is damned to wander

Until someone goes and frees her

Until someone goes and frees her

She must wander on, always wander on
