Der Schatten malt den Teufel an die Wand [English translation]

The last night of the year goes by.

She sits in front of the chimney, casting the hot metal.

She's holding it in the flames

And would have nearly scorched herself.

The shadow speaks of the Devil.

At midnight, there's someone standing in front of the door.

A man says, "Please open up, I'm freezing to death."

She hesitates a little while longer.

The voice sounds familiar.

The shadow speaks of the Devil.

Then she opens the door and the man from

Her dreams is standing in front of her.

Intense eyes, dark hair.

And her yearning has been alone for far too long,

To feel that she's in danger.

He says: "Whether you remain alone or not, I'm here

As a servant of your desires.

The Kingdom of Heaven on Earth is

Now in your hands."

The shadow speaks of the Devil.

"The Kingdom of Heaven on Earth is

Now in your hands."

The shadow speaks of the Devil.

She is confused because he knows all of her dreams,

Her childhood and what's been happening

And her yearning has been alone for far too long,

To feel that she's in danger.

Does the Devil wear blue jeans, just like him?

Does he have eyes like the large sea?

She hesitates a little while longer.

She then gives him her hand.

The shadow speaks of the Devil.

The night fades away, the morning is already turning gray.

She sees an old woman in the mirror.

Forty years of love has been consumed by the fire in one night.

The shadow speaks of the Devil.

The shadow speaks of the Devil.

The shadow speaks of the Devil.

The shadow speaks of the Devil.
