Tränen der Sehnsucht [English translation]

A child from this earth goes to bed

It was a day of bare fear

How many times did he fall to the ground?

How many time did he laugh of pain?

How many times did he yell to himself?

And was dumb since long time ago

The last pain of a hurt soul

Logical fear of love

Tears in silence - masks on his face

Lights cast shadows that obstruct the light

And he's standing here - the child

With tears on his face

Lights cast shadows that obstruct the light

The night gave birth to it's youngest child

A dream of love, of his yearning

A dream of eyes - not of hands

A dream to dream - not to live

But the child's eyes didn't know beauty

They were too weak to be astonished

And the first light of the morning sun

Didn't come to these child

Because he was blind

His hands were old, but remained untouched

Tears in silence - masks on his face

The lights cast shadows that obstruct the light

An explanation should be given but it is lost

Tears in silence - masks on the face

And he's standing here - the child

With tears on his face

Tears of yearning

Tears of yearning
