Das letzte Lied [English translation]

This is surely the last song

I write for you

because I'm being pulled to other shores

and if not, I am going to stand still.

I tried to understand you for a long time

I have to occupy myself with new things.

Because now we're going separate ways.

It's time to let you go.

I won't yearn anymore

I'm wrting a new play.

I won't mention you anymore

and I'm not looking back anymore.

This is surely the last song

I sing for you

because there's so much happening around me.

There are still other things.

I won't yearn anymore

I'm wrting a new play.

I won't mention you anymore

and I'm not looking back anymore.

These are surely the last lines

I write to you

This last song shall stay with you

until I write a new one.
