Lauter [English translation]

[Verse 1]

Afraid of what has been

Of what’s left of it to me

I want to keep going forward, but

For you it’s too far

[Verse 2]

We sit across from each other

I inhale your words

I am silent, I give them back to you

And do it as if it’s no big deal

[Chorus]

Don’t you hear what I’m saying?

Don’t you hear it?

Louder, louder

Louder, I cannot be

[Verse 3]

I get close to you

I grab you

And wonder: Don’t you feel it?

I can’t get louder than that

[Chorus]

Don’t you hear what I’m saying?

Don’t you hear it?

Louder, louder

Louder, I cannot be

Don’t you hear it?

Don’t you hear it?

I throw my hands over my head1

Hoping, that I can protect myself with them

You don’t see it

Louder, I cannot be

I throw my hands over my head

Hoping, that I can protect myself with them

You don’t see it

Louder, I cannot be

I throw my hands over my head

Hoping, that I can protect myself with them

You don’t see it

Louder, I cannot be

I throw my hands over my head

Hoping, that I can protect myself with them

You don’t see it

Louder, I cannot be

I throw my hands over my head

Hoping, that I can protect myself with them

You don’t see it

Louder, I cannot be

I throw my hands over my head

Hoping, that I can protect myself with them

You don’t see it

Louder, I cannot be
