Lyrics of Die Sehnsucht In Mir - Lacrimosa

Die Sehnsucht In Mir (original)

Versucht — erneut versucht
Bin ich still — starr — und erstaunt
Und ein wenig — ja ein wenig beseelt
Ich schwebe über die zahme See
Kann das frische Nass
Auf meinen Füssen schier erahnen
Erlesen bist Du
Dass solches Du kannst schaffen
Und sieh' - ich blute nicht mehr
Gleichwohl schwerelos
So ruhen meine Blicke auf Dir
Und ich fühle einen Hauch von Frieden
Und so ziehst Du weiter und das Bild verweht
Alles löst sich auf
Nichts bleibt zurück
Alleine die Stille bleibt bestehen
Und die Ruhe wird beängstigend
Lethargie und Einsamkeit begleiten sie
Und ich winde mich in mich hinein
Und der Sturm zieht auf
Peitscht die Wellen auf
Könnte ich mich doch erheben
Und noch einmal zu Dir sehen
Und ich spräche — ich würde sagen:
Du bist hier — jetzt ist alles gut
Tried — tried again
I am silent — numb — and astonished
And a little — just a little inspired
I float over the placid lake
Can almost feel the fresh wetness
Caressing my feet
You are exquisite
That you can create such things
And look — I am no longer bleeding
Weightless nonetheless
My eyes rest upon you
And I feel a touch of tranquillity
And so you move on and the picture fades
Everything dissolves
Nothing is left
Only the silence remains
And the stillness becomes frightening
Lethargy and loneliness are their accompaniment
And I curl into myself
And the storm approaches
Whipping up the waves
Could I but rise
And look once agains at you
And were I able to speak — I would say:
You are here — now everything is good

(translation)

Tried — tried again
Am I still — staring — and amazed
And a little - yes a little soulful
I float over the tame sea
Can the fresh water
I can almost guess on my feet
You are exquisite
That such you can create
And look - I'm not bleeding anymore
Nonetheless weightless
So my eyes rest on you
And I feel a touch of peace
And so you move on and the picture is gone
Everything dissolves
Nothing is left behind
Only the silence remains
And the quiet becomes scary
Lethargy and loneliness accompany them
And I squirm into myself
And the storm is brewing
Rushing up the waves
If only I could get up
And look at you again
And I speak - I would say:
You are here — everything is fine now
Tried — tried again
I am silent — numb — and astonished
And a little — just a little inspired
I float over the placid lake
Can almost feel the fresh wetness
Caressing my feet
You are exquisite
That you can create such things
And look — I am no longer bleeding
Weightless nonetheless
My eyes rest upon you
And I feel a touch of tranquility
And so you move on and the picture fades
Everything dissolves
Nothing is left
Only the silence remains
And the stillness becomes frightening
Lethargy and loneliness are their accompaniment
And I curl into myself
And the storm approaches
Whipping up the waves
Could I but rise
And look once again at you
And were I able to speak — I would say:
You are here — now everything is good
