Die Sehnsucht in mir [English translation]

Tried - tried again

I am silent - numb - and astonished

And a little - just a little inspired

I float over the placid lake

Can almost feel the fresh wetness

Caressing my feet

You are exquisite

That you can create such things

And look - I am no longer bleeding

Weightless nonetheless

My eyes rest upon you

And I feel a touch of tranquillity

And so you move on and the picture fades

Everything dissolves

Nothing is left

Only the silence remains

And the stillness becomes frightening

Lethargy and loneliness are their accompaniment

And I curl into myself

And the storm approaches

Whipping up the waves

Could I but rise

And look once agains at you

And were I able to speak - I would say:

You are here - now everything is good
