Kind der Nacht [English translation]

Where are you now, can you see me?

Do you see me in the cold light?

Where are you now, do you see me in the cold light?

In the cold light…

I go through the streets on my own

… and I can hear the silence

I miss you every night

… and the pain drives me on

For a thousand years

I have been looking for you every night

Seconds turn into hours

… the years turn into an eternity

Where are you now, can you see me?

Will you ever understand my fears?

Do you see me in the cold light?

Don’t you sense my grief?

And I shall wait…

For a lifetime

At the end of the darkness

We’ll meet again, my Child of Darkness…

Inexorably the longing grows

Holding my heart captive

As from the day I saw you

And our dream decayed to dust

But for a thousand years

You have been looking in vain every night

What keeps you away from me?

Show me the way out of the darkness.
