Wenn die Kälte kommt [English translation]

When the wind grabs you

With blind, biting fury

Like an invisible wolf

Freezes the blood

I'm cold, infinitely cold

The frosty faces

Freezing into grimaces

I have no thoughts

And no sheet holds me1

I'm cold, infinitely cold

When the cold comes with icy hands

When the cold comes and overpowers your heart

When the soul freezes, the breath burns me

Then I'll be with you, where hope warms me

Far on the horizon, when the cold comes

The ice creeps into the heads

And everything seals up

And when the mouths are silent

Everyone is by themselves

I'm cold, infinitely cold

When the cold comes with icy hands

When the cold comes and overpowers your heart

When the soul freezes, the breath burns me

Then I'll be with you, where hope warms me

Far on the horizon, when the cold comes

When the cold comes

Far on the horizon, when the cold comes

And if you don't brace yourself

Then it will conquer you

Then the goodness inside you

Will abandon you bit by bit

I'm cold, infinitely cold

When the cold comes with icy hands

When the cold comes and overpowers your heart

When the soul freezes, the breath burns me

Then I'll be with you, where hope warms me

Far on the horizon, when the cold comes

Far on the horizon, when the cold comes
