Die Engel [English translation]

I am not blind, yet cannot see*

I cannot go as if paralyzed

I am in fear, and turn around.*

I'd like to scream, and yet stay dumb.*

I am not tired, I'm not awake*

Would like to rise, but I am too weak.

Longing at the last instance for you again...

Can you see the angels?

They will fall only for you!

Can you see the angels?

I'll get them only for you...

For you, from heaven!

A stranger to myself, I feel abandoned.

Run after myself, don't overtake myself.

I am still here. Who knows for how long.

What doesn't end, will never start.*

I am a captive, cannot flee.*

Can't escape from my impotence

Longíng at the last instance for you again...

Can you see the angels?

They will fall only for you!

Can you see the angels?

I'll get them only for you...

For you, from heaven!
