I am tired of remembering
For which of my sins shall I burn?
Your enemy are thousands of regrets
If only I was able to find (it/him), I would beg
This world's knowledge of love
A dark board's eraser
My soul's defeat
I am forever grounded
Oh, my thorny path
My childhood, my adulthood
Oh, my suffering
My journey of ache and burn
Whatever I do, where ever I go, it doesn't work
I am in purgatory, even though I am alive
I am lovesick towards a memory
I am both on the winner and the loser side
(You are) Neither here, nor far away
Neither on dining tables, nor on the streets
Nor on the especially sunny but cold days
That I woke up to
You are a limitless emptiness
You are a hunger, you are an absence
Then, I murmur a melody
You are still more than anything (present)
Oh, my thorny path
My childhood, my adulthood
Oh, my suffering
My journey of ache and burn
Whatever I do, where ever I go, it doesn't work
I am in purgatory, even though I am alive
I am lovesick towards a memory
I am both on the winner and the loser side
