tesadüfen [English translation]

A leaf falls suddenly

From the tree onto my lap.

I thought I saw your name

In its vein.

The thing that splits my sleep,

My day from the night.

I thought I heard your name

On its lips.

If you still have hopes about love,

Every spring, under the rain.

If you still have hopes about love,

Love happens, as a matter of fact,

By coincidence.

The seagulls are flying

Suddenly onto my lap.

I thought I saw your name

On their wings.

The thing that splits my sleep,

My day from the night.

I thought I heard your name

On its lips.

If you still have hopes about love,

Every spring, under the rain.

If you still have hopes about love,

Love happens, as a matter of fact,

By coincidence.
