Grau zieht der Nebel [English translation]

The mist drifts grey through the deserted city,

My heart is lonely, because it has lost you.

The light of the lanterns shines wanly through the trees

And grey as the mist are all my dreams.

And so to me time becomes an eternity,

I am vainly waiting so many hours of my life.

The mist drifts grey through the deserted city,

My heart is lonely, because it has lost you.

Could I but ask you: What in the world happened?

Then I will tell you: I can understand you!

And so to me time becomes an eternity,

I am vainly waiting so many hours of my life.

Let us start over, when the mists fade away.
