Translation of the song lyrics Blut Im Auge - Equilibrium

Blut Im Auge (original)

Was ich sah auf meiner Reise,
Scheint zu wahr es zu erzähln,
Drum versuch ich auf meine Weise,
Euch mit mir dort hinzunehmn.
Wie ich einst auf dunklen Pfaden,
Weit von hier in Nordens Land,
Sah was mir den Atem raubte,
Was ich bis da nicht gekannt.
Blut im Auge
Auf wunde Knie
So sank ich nieder
So fand ich sie
So beschloss ich dort zu bleiben.
Was ich sah ließ?
mich nicht mehr los,
Zu entdecken ihr Geheimnis,
War die Nacht für mich verlohr’n.
Tag um Tag in grauem Regen,
Suchte ich den Blick noch mal,
War verfallen jenem Zauber,
Den ich bisher nicht erahnt.
Blut im Auge
Auf wunde Knie
Sank ich nieder
So fand ich sie
Lies zurück der Städte Tore,
Zog hinauf in eisige Hö'n
Sturmgewitter, Donners Peitschen
Suchten mich zu Grund zu gehn
Blickte in des Wassers Fälle,
Hinter Sträucher, Birkenhain
Unruhig Blicke, grau die Wogen,
Wo mag sie geblieben sein?
Schlaflos, rastlos such ich…
Lautlos, raunend, hört sie mich nicht…
Über Felsen, Berg und Heide,
Dickicht, Dornen, Dunkelheit,
Such ich sie bei Nacht, die Weiße,
Such den gleißend' Himmelsschein…
What I saw on my journey
Seems too true to tell about
Therefore I’ll try my way
To take you there with me
When I once on dark paths
Far from here in northern land
Saw, what stole my breath,
What I never knew before
Blood in the eye
On wounded knees
I fell down
I saw her
So I decided to stay there
What I saw kept my mind
To discover her secret
The night was lost for me
Day by day in grey rain
I searched the view again
Was addicted to this magic
I’ve seen before
Blood in the eye
On wounded knees
I fell down
I saw her
Left behind the gates of town
Climbed up into icy height
Storms and thunderflashes
Tried to put me down
Saw into waterfalls
Behind bushes, birches
Restless views, grey waves
Where may she be?
Sleepless, restless I search…
Soundless, noise, she doesn’t hear me…
Over rocks, mountains, moorland,
Bushes, thorns, darkness,
I search for her by night,
Search the glowing heaven light…

(translation)

What I saw on my journey
Seems too true to tell
That's why I try in my own way
take you there with me
As I once on dark paths,
Far from here in north country,
saw what took my breath away
What I didn't know until then.
Blood in the eye
On sore knees
So I sank down
That's how I found her
So I decided to stay there.
What did I see?
can't get rid of me
to discover her secret,
Was the night lost for me.
day after day in gray rain,
I looked again
Was addicted to that magic
Which I hadn't guessed before.
Blood in the eye
On sore knees
I fell down
That's how I found her
read back the city gates,
Moved up into icy heights
Storm thunderstorms, thunder's whips
Searched for me to go to ground
looked into the falls of the water,
Behind bushes, birch grove
Restless looks, gray the waves,
Where may she have gone?
Sleepless, restless I search...
Silently, murmuring, she doesn't hear me...
Over rock, mountain and heath,
thickets, thorns, darkness,
I look for her at night, the white one,
Look for the glistening skylight...
What I saw on my journey
Seems too true to tell about
Therefore I'll try my way
To take you there with me
When I once on dark paths
Far from here in northern land
Saw, what stole my breath,
What I never knew before
Blood in the eye
On wounded knees
I fell down
I saw her
So I decided to stay there
What I saw kept my mind
To discover her secret
The night was lost for me
Day by day in gray rain
I searched the view again
Was addicted to this magic
I've seen before
Blood in the eye
On wounded knees
I fell down
I saw her
Left behind the gates of town
Climbed up into icy height
Storms and thunder flashes
Tried to put me down
Saw into waterfalls
Behind bushes, birches
Restless views, gray waves
Where may she be?
Sleepless, restless I search…
Soundless, noise, she doesn't hear me...
Over rocks, mountains, moorland,
Bushes, thorns, darkness,
I search for her by night,
Search the glowing heaven light…
