Vergiss Mein Nicht [English translation]

She looked him in the face

She looked him in the face

...

Forget me not!

The boy was still young in years,

she promised his escort.

She wanted to already be at home,

forget the time with him.

So he grabbed her hand out of love.

She followed him deep into the night,

what was her undoing.

She looked him in the face:

The words a poem.

She looked him in the face:

Forget me not!

She looked him in the face:

The words a poem.

She looked him in the face:

Forget me not!

At the same time, there he took her,

He pulled her down with him.

Damp dirt deep in the forest

was to be her grave.

As he was soon finished with her,

In the first light of the day,

She wiped off a tear

And looked him in the face.

She looked him in the face:

The words a poem.

She looked him in the face:

Forget me not!

She looked him in the face,

Found no love there.

She looked him in the face.

Forget me not!

What of her is left today,

Are flowers full of splendor.

They are bright blue,

Forget me not,

Like that time in the night.

She looked him in the face:

The words a poem.

She looked him in the face:

Forget me not!

She looked him in the face,

Found no love there.

She looked him in the face.

Forget me not!
