De Stilte [English translation]

Nothing's stronger

Than the silence

Nothing has as much power

as the silence of the night

Nothing's stronger

Than the silence

Nothing's stronger than the word

Which is not heard

There has been said so much again today

So many people in the world

Have explained so many things

Grousing to others

By those know-it-alls

But those know-it-alls should know it all better

And forget what they all know, 'cause

(Chorus)

Anticipate your death

Feel the silence all around

Whoever can tolerate quietness

Never feels alone

Come here with me, hold me tight

And don't ask what I feel

Words way too often convey

Something I don't mean

(Chorus)
