Unsere Augen [English translation]

How wide was the old path

And long, so impassably long

How deep was the stream, I couldn't stand up in it

I was trapped inside a child

I wanted to be tall, far away from there

I wanted to tower over everything

So I ran away from that place and into today

Without questions

[Refrain:]

When I look into your eyes

Then I see myself deep inside myself

When I look into your eyes

Then I see myself as a small child

When I look through your eyes

I see the world in harmony

A child's questions, a child's happiness1

Oh, if only time had stopped

Your eyes look at me

Exactly how I once looked

And yet at some point

I simply blocked the gate to childhood

Now I see you, you're running too

My child, stop

You won't hear, you don't listen

Until the time flies away from you too

[Refrain:]

When I look into your eyes

Then I see myself deep inside myself

When I look into your eyes

Then I see myself as a small child

When I look through your eyes

I see the world in harmony

A child's questions, a child's happiness

Oh, if only time had stopped

And if ever we don't exist anymore

Then you will look in a child's eyes

You will be sad, you will embrace your child

And the years will go on

[Refrain:]

When I look into your eyes

Then I see myself deep inside myself

When I look into your eyes

Then I see myself as a small child

When I look through your eyes

I see the world in harmony

A child's questions, a child's happiness

Oh, if only time had stopped

If only it had stopped
