Drei Jahre Lang [English translation]

Six o’clock in the morning

They are unlocking the cell now

Then begins the daily routine.

And for me without you a new morning begins

For both of us eternity is three years long.

Here I sit writing you the first letter

I feel good

I take courage

Think positive

And I tell myself every day

that we cannot be separated

Even if today as well that eternity is three years long

And every night I dream of you and say:

I will wait for you until the last day.

Here we go through all the usual routines

Tom is now at seven opening the pub.

Sometimes I sit there

watching in silence old friends

and saying to myself

I must be strong

Three years long

Believe it – just like me – that we cannot be separated

Even if today as well that eternity is three years long

And every night I dream of you and say:

I will wait for you until the last day.

Ten o’clock at night

Now turn off the light

Close your eyes and dream of me

And for me without you a great longing begins

For both of us eternity is three years long.

For both of us eternity is three years long

For both of us eternity is three years long.
