Kannst du verzeihen? [English translation]

I secretly turned around,

I went back completely unscathed.

I crept (betrayed?)

A part of you could still be felt

You were already gone

Only blue fog and your fear here with me,

the end of a long journey that begins here

Can you forgive?

I drive the longing ahead of me.

Can you forgive?

And the wind screams your name.

Can you forgive?

Can you forgive?

The rustling of leaves

All of a sudden the door opens.

You see right through me

and stand right in front of me.

In your eyes I see fright,

your fear of yourself,

the start of a long journey that ends here

Can you forgive?

I drive the longing ahead of me.

Can you forgive?

And the wind screams your name.

Can you forgive?

I drive the longing ahead of me.

Can you forgive?

And the wind screams your name.

And I urge your mind to dream,

to this place,

where knowledge took away my faith.

Can you forgive?

I drive the longing ahead of me.

Can you forgive?

And the wind screams your name.

Can you forgive?

I drive the longing ahead of me.

Can you forgive?

And the wind screams your name into the night.
