Wie Tränen im Regen [English translation]

The water in the streets

Flows wildly into a river

And the rain on the rooftops

Pounds monotonously

Sounds from the motors

And a storm that arises

Form a symphony

that shakes my heart

Like tears in the rain

like a star in the heavens

Like a dream

that helplessly

burns out on the horizon

The tears of my soul

Flow downward like a river

Only a plea for salvation

struggles to make a sound

There is nothing left in me

But senseless emptiness

And the deepest sadness

that shows me who I really am

Like tears in the rain

lost in the shadows

Like a star in the sky

Born to die

Like tears in the rain

Expired in existence

To be forever forgotten

in the morning
