Nicht von dieser Welt [English translation]

So many nights I lay awake

My weak eyes red from crying

The cup filled with tears

My wounds enfolded into a linen sheet

What should I search to support me

While the person who protects me

It's (she's) not from this world ("she" referring to "love", in German "Liebe" is female)

The love that keeps me alive

Without you I would be in a bad state

Because it's not from this world

The love that keeps me alive

Without you I would be in a bad state

It's true if I tell you

That it torments me when I ask you

Can I still live without you?

I don't need an answer

You're the content of my life

For you I search in vain

You are my light which preserves the night

Something like this is not from this world

Refrain

You hear the pain I feel

Ear to heart - an open door

Never a mean word from you

The most beautiful touch between you and me

You always save me from falling

You always give me what I need

And the thing I like in you

Is not from this world
