Die Zeiger der Uhr [English translation]

You still sometimes read the old letters that he wrote you

In which every line said to you "I love you"

You close your eyes and dream of him

and of lost happiness

But the hands of the clock only rotate

Forward, forward and never backwards

You still have many nice photos of that time

For these wonderful years, you are sorry

you close your eyes, dream of him

and of lost happiness

But the hands of the clock only rotate

Forward, forward and never backwards

You feel lonely and dream of yesterday,

yet you live today

There will come someone who will free you of your dreams

You close your eyes

and then begins for you a new happiness

Because the hands of the clock only rotate

Forward, forward and never backwards

The hands of the clock only rotate

Forward, forward and never backwards
