Auf dich hab ich gewartet [English translation]

Of that One have I often had dreams –

even cried for no cause.

And so many have I blindly followed

without a “why” or “because.”

And a spring evening lying in the dust

was softer than a feather bed.

And some games were not allowed us,

yet we wanted to play them instead.

So much emotion I have here in my head –

I found it and I kept it, yet I ... still looked on ahead.

But it’s for you, I have been waiting.

Have oft desired

and loved, admired . . .

with names in a heart inspired.

But it’s for you, I have been waiting.

From the first day I was quite enticed.

I read him through like a book.

Several had I scared away

which made me desp’rately look.

By the many attractions, blinded,

like a child at the fairground plays.

Yet again in all the racket caught up

and lost its way.

So much emotion I have here in my head –

I found it and I kept it, yet I … still looked on ahead.

But it’s for you, I have been waiting.

Have oft desired

and loved, admired . . .

with names in a heart inspired.

But it’s for you, I have been waiting.
