Niemals [English translation]

I wish that I'm able to forget you,

I'd simply like to ignore you.

I'm sure, some time

This will simply happen overnight.

Until then some time will pass,

Until then I still have to wait patiently.

I'll try not to look at you,

'cause my glances will betray me.

But I'm aware of it

That there will never be anything,

'cause there was never anything.

Maybe it depends on the fact

That I was too often alone

When I was a child.

Or that my father was mean.

No, that shall not be any defense,

I'd like to know myself,

What actually the reason is

That I have my head in the clouds,

Whenever I see you

My mind is far away,

And it aches

That you don't know

How it's like within me.

I lie my heart down at your feet,

What else shall I do with it,

Please don't tread on it to smash it,

It had been already suffering enough.

I'm aware of it

That there will never be anything,

'cause there was never anything.

You tell me that you don't want anything from me,

Nevertheless I dream of you,

What I don't have,

I also cannot lose.

You say that it makes no sense,

If the two of us have an affair,

Too late, 'cause I'm right in the middle of it.

Time is passing slowly,

No day is passing,

On which I'm not thinking of you,

With every heartbeat.

No day is passing,

No hour is passing,

I'm thinking of you now,

Now, in the very second.

Always and permanently,

By day and by night,

What's going on with me,

What have you done to me?

I'm aware of it

That there will never be anything,

'cause there was never anything.
