Ohne dich [English translation]

Without you

You laugh into my face,

I don't see the tears.

Don't notice that something is different.

So different than usual,

you wear your hair,

so unfamiliar cold,

your sight non-rigid.

Everything was clear for me,

You were always there for me,

I was an optimist,

I thought it would be forever.

Only anger will stay for us now,

how could this happen?

I lost you,

we lost us!

Refrain:

Everything is so empty - without you,

everything is so difficult - without you.

But I get on with it,

I feel wonderful,

but sometimes I think about the time,

when we were together in the past.

You stand in front of a wall,

why does your hand tremble?

Tell me, what frightens you,

I don't know what you demand?

Simply tear down the wall,

Let me come near you again.

Draw the curtain again,

because you are not alone.

What is an hour,

what is a day?

How long is a second,

if I don't have you any longer?

I don't count the days,

on which you are not with me.

Suddenly taken away,

you will never come back.

Refrain:

Everything is so empty - without you,

everything is so difficult - without you.

But I get on with it,

I feel wonderful,

but sometimes I think about the time,

when we were together in the past.

Only we both,

were ready for everything,

we were free,

we shined like stars,

we flied like clouds,

we distanced ourselves from each other,

we just lied to us.

I wake up in the morning,

things go on as usual.

I get familar with it,

that I cannot bring you back.

Refrain:

Everything is so empty - without you,

everything is so difficult - without you.

But I get on with it,

I feel wonderful,

but sometimes I think about the time,

when we were together in the past.

Only we both,

were ready for everything,

we were free,

we shined like stars,

we flied like clouds,

we distanced ourselves from each other,

we just lied to us.
