Nachtschatten [English translation]

In the heart of the silence

In the heart of the night

How often have I asked myself

Where you might be right now

How often have I asked myself

If love is given to you right now

At a party - perhaps in Cannes

In a club - perhaps in Rome

Perhaps you spend this night quite alone

In a grand hotel in Vienna

In spirit I accompany you

And I can see you more often this way

Then they draw ever closer

The shadows from the corners

Those shadows of my solirtude

They are crawling from the walls

And they are coming to get me

And they block my view

And the room is getting larger

And inside I am growing smaller and smaller

And the silence is becoming the music of my heart

And is longing bec ome the essence of my heart

And strong is my soul

And hope is fierce

And my longing is insatiable

And my love is gentle and powerful

And she tears me from my solitude

Leads me to her!

And so I met you in Cannes

Or perhaps already in Rome

Perhaps I am the man

Who calls you when you are lonely

In a grand hotel in Vienna
