Ein Teil [English translation]

Every beginning ends sometime,

but sometime came much too quickly.

Way too much together.

Forever is still a long time.

I think that was it, have a nice life; see ya.

But I’m sure something will come your way.

So please don’t look at me that way.

You’re no longer attractive,

but you’re still hangin’ on the wall. ¹

The time with you was great,

but only the memory of us remains.

And I sometimes wish that the two of us

would have first gotten to know each other later. ²

but I just want that you know…

You are and will stay…

a part of me forever

you are and will stay…

a part of me forever

We haven’t seen each other for a while

and we’re going our separate ways ³

Others come and go through my mind,

but it passes.

You’re doin’ okay – you don’t call me anymore,

‘cause I’m no longer attractive.

You two walk hand in hand.

But damn, why does it bother me?

I distract myself and don’t think about it.

Damn, I ask myself what you’re doing.

And what you’ve got with him.

I call you up and you say:

I sometimes wish that the two of us

would have first gotten to know each other later.

But I just want you to know…

You are and will stay…

a part of me forever

you are and will stay…

a part of me forever

a part forever...
