Erste Sehnsucht [English translation]

I know you only from radio and from watching TV

You look so good, that I start to lose control

When I hear your voice, then, nothing else matters,

I get weak in the knees, my heart never beats as loud as then.

The first longing/desire, tears on the pink writing paper,

since it hurts, because only in the dream are you with me.

You have never written to me – But I can only love one.

Believe me, I dream every night about you.

I think already, for you, there are many girls.

That you will write to me sometime, that, I wish very much.

Your picture hangs on my wall – You smile affectionately at me

as if you said to me – I myself long for you as well.
