Leise [English translation]

Quiet, quiet,

Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm

She and I go walking together through the sand

The evening sun throws long shadows on the beach

The gulls are circling far off on the horizon

There's a seal that's still sunning itself a bit

It could be so peaceful, a last breath of summer

But she tells again without a period and comma

I can barely take it

I'd love to just tell her

Quiet, just be quiet

Please, please shut your trap

Just give me a short

Half hour of only silence

Then my skies would be blue

You're the woman that I want

But you're there even in silence

I know of a convent

A room just became available there

I'd like to go there with her

Because it's a silent order

And in the supermarket instead of normal fizzy water

I always buy her silent spring water instead

I sent her a DVD, "The Silence of the Lambs"

We sit on the sofa

She talks and I doze

I myself don't know exactly

Why I never trust myself to say

Quiet, just be quiet

Please, please shut your trap

Just give me a short

Half hour of only silence

Then my skies would be blue

You're the woman that I want

But you're there even in silence

One day there'll be manslaughter or murder because of it

But I can't tell her that

Because I can never get a word in

Doo doo doo

Quiet, just be quiet

Please, please shut your trap

Just give me a short

Half hour of only silence

Then my skies would be blue

You're the woman that I want

But you're there even in silence
