Wölfe [English translation]

The night is silently passing by

The last dream is going round and round

I look at you and ask myself

Whether you are aware of this sight

Wolves are smelling their prey

Always ready to attack

I can feel them beholding you

They are now waiting for their time to come.

Hunger in their eyes,

They give me a silent round of applause

They look like friends

But wolves never cease

Time won't quench their hunger

Time will only disguise their faces

Harmless though they may appear,

Wolves never cease.

I never asked you

What you can see with your eyes

And what you mean by that

If you say that you love me

I don't have the right

To reveal your dreams

And yet, I strongly believe

That there is a wolf behind.

Time won't quench the hunger

Time will only disguise faces

Harmless though you may appear,

Wolves never cease

The night is silently passing by

The last dream is going round and round

I look at you and ask myself

Whether you are aware of my hunger

I can see my reflection in the mirror

My fur can really hardly be seen

A kiss upon your eyes

I can understand the others very well

Time won't quench my hunger

Time can only disguise my face

Harmless though I may appear,

Wolves never cease,

Wolves never cease.
