Too Much for One Heart [German translation]

John

I'm not here as a friend

I have a job to do

It's strange to find my work

Should lead me here to you

Chris knows all about you

I have shown him all this

But I think that it's time

You know all about Chris

Kim

Yes, tell me everything, I beg you

How I've longed for this to start

All my prayers are finally answered

This is too much for one heart

John

Kim, he went crazy when he lost you

Spoke to no one so torn apart

Then he finally said, "I'm home now

This is too much for one heart."

Kim, let me finish talking, please

This was three whole years ago

Kim

Yes, yes, I know

I know how pain can grow

When the rock you hold onto

Is a love miles away

Listen, please

I already know this story

Take us to the U.S.A.

John

When we're finished here you'll see him

Chris arrived with me today

Kim

Oh Tam, he's here!

He's here, he's so near

We might breathe the same air tonight!

Your father's here!

Kim

I dreamed so hard

I kept my faith

And now it's true

Now

I can see we've been watched over

And our life's about to start

Sun and Moon will be together

John

I can't tell her like this I should not be the one

Chris must come see his son

They don't say in the files

There's a woman in love here

What I see in her eyes Chris still knows nothing of

Both

This is too much for one heart

Club Owner

I thought I said, "no kids around"

So what's that brat doing here

You better take care, I'm watching both of you

You, and your Engineer

Sir, would you like a massage?

John

No thanks, it's not my scene

Club Owner

You can find boys at La Cage

Engineer

Where is he?

What is that look

He was right on the hook

Don't tell me he slipped free

Kim

Engineer, Chris is here

John is going to get him

And bring him to me

My heart's ready to burst

I don't know what I'll tell him first

Engineer

That guy is no one to trust

Or a soldier who's just learned he's fathered a son

You got to get to Chris first

I will find his address now

Before he can run

Kim

You can trust what he'll do

Don't you worry

I'll mention you

Engineer

Don't screw with me, little bitch

I don't want any hitch

You just do as you're told

You'll go to his hotel

I'll be working as well

Guarding our bag of gold

Kim

Tell me where, and I'll go

He is longing for me I know

You have brought me through the lightning

You have watched me from afar

You know all and you forgive me

Loving parents that you are

Engineer

Please, let your daughter have your blessing go on

Talk to your ghosts, little girl

On the life that starts today 'til you're blue

We must journey to a new world you have one chance

Just one he's here

Talking to you

And I must be on my way I'm on my way
