Die Leiche [English translation]

A corpse is floating in the pond.

I've thrown a glance out of the window,

I saw it immediately.

A corpse is floating in the pond.

Maybe it was only an accident,

or was it murder?

It is floating on its belly.

And from here it looks like,

as if it were dozing.

A peaceful sight,

It almost seems to be a little released.

A corpse is floating in the pond.

I'm sitting on the lawn,

a dog runs past.

A corpse is floating in the pond.

Someone will probably call

the police soon.

I would like so much to show it to you,

but you aren't here.

You suddenly disappeared,

I hope nothing has happened to you.

A corpse is floating in the pond.

I'm sitting in the shadow,

and watch it.

A corpse is floating in the pond.

It has your shape

and it wears your shoes.

I'm getting a little bit sad,

only why, I don't know.

I think it reminds me

a little bit of you.

A corpse is floating in the pond.

Whether anyone is searching for it,

whether anyone is missing it?

A corpse is floating in the pond.

I would like to ask you,

whether you know who it is.

I've been waiting for you for days,

and I wonder where you stay.

I don't give up the hope

that you'll write me at least.

A corpse is floating in the pond.

I wondered myself

why no one is doing anything.

No corpse is floating in the pond.

Since I've dug a hole in the earth,

in dark night.

I carried it into the grave.

It was wet and so cold,

nevertheless it was nice.

It was pretty dark,

I didn't see its face.

I don't know, though, where you are,

but I hope, you won't forget me.

'cause until you return,

I'll wait so long

for you, for you, for you.
