Zigarettenrauch in meinen Augen [English translation]

It feels so good

that we can meet again,

I look you in the face,

and I remember well the past.

It was so good.

Since then so much has happened,

'cause then he came.

Another man

can call you now his wife.

For him you set the table,

you take care of him by day and night.

And you now bear his name,

and think of me no more.

No – I do not cry.

It's just the cigarette smoke that irritates my eyes,

that will be over soon.

That I've completely lost you, really,

I'll never understand.

So, if I'm sad, then please – forgive!

You have a child,

why don't you tell about him?

We often dreamed of that

and even knew his name already,

until the end came.

Don't look at me like that,

No – I do not cry.

It's just the cigarette smoke that irritates my eyes,...

That I've completely lost you, really,

I'll never understand.

So, if I'm sad, then please – forgive!
