| Versucht — erneut versucht
| Tried — tried again
|
| Bin ich still — starr — und erstaunt
| Am I still — staring — and amazed
|
| Und ein wenig — ja ein wenig beseelt
| And a little - yes a little soulful
|
| Ich schwebe über die zahme See
| I float over the tame sea
|
| Kann das frische Nass
| Can the fresh water
|
| Auf meinen Füssen schier erahnen
| I can almost guess on my feet
|
| Erlesen bist Du
| You are exquisite
|
| Dass solches Du kannst schaffen
| That such you can create
|
| Und sieh' - ich blute nicht mehr
| And look - I'm not bleeding anymore
|
| Gleichwohl schwerelos
| Nonetheless weightless
|
| So ruhen meine Blicke auf Dir
| So my eyes rest on you
|
| Und ich fühle einen Hauch von Frieden
| And I feel a touch of peace
|
| Und so ziehst Du weiter und das Bild verweht
| And so you move on and the picture is gone
|
| Alles löst sich auf
| Everything dissolves
|
| Nichts bleibt zurück
| Nothing is left behind
|
| Alleine die Stille bleibt bestehen
| Only the silence remains
|
| Und die Ruhe wird beängstigend
| And the quiet becomes scary
|
| Lethargie und Einsamkeit begleiten sie
| Lethargy and loneliness accompany them
|
| Und ich winde mich in mich hinein
| And I squirm into myself
|
| Und der Sturm zieht auf
| And the storm is brewing
|
| Peitscht die Wellen auf
| Rushing up the waves
|
| Könnte ich mich doch erheben
| If only I could get up
|
| Und noch einmal zu Dir sehen
| And look at you again
|
| Und ich spräche — ich würde sagen:
| And I speak - I would say:
|
| Du bist hier — jetzt ist alles gut
| You are here — everything is fine now
|
| Tried — tried again
| Tried — tried again
|
| I am silent — numb — and astonished
| I am silent — numb — and astonished
|
| And a little — just a little inspired
| And a little — just a little inspired
|
| I float over the placid lake
| I float over the placid lake
|
| Can almost feel the fresh wetness
| Can almost feel the fresh wetness
|
| Caressing my feet
| Caressing my feet
|
| You are exquisite
| You are exquisite
|
| That you can create such things
| That you can create such things
|
| And look — I am no longer bleeding
| And look — I am no longer bleeding
|
| Weightless nonetheless
| Weightless nonetheless
|
| My eyes rest upon you
| My eyes rest upon you
|
| And I feel a touch of tranquillity
| And I feel a touch of tranquility
|
| And so you move on and the picture fades
| And so you move on and the picture fades
|
| Everything dissolves
| Everything dissolves
|
| Nothing is left
| Nothing is left
|
| Only the silence remains
| Only the silence remains
|
| And the stillness becomes frightening
| And the stillness becomes frightening
|
| Lethargy and loneliness are their accompaniment
| Lethargy and loneliness are their accompaniment
|
| And I curl into myself
| And I curl into myself
|
| And the storm approaches
| And the storm approaches
|
| Whipping up the waves
| Whipping up the waves
|
| Could I but rise
| Could I but rise
|
| And look once agains at you
| And look once again at you
|
| And were I able to speak — I would say:
| And were I able to speak — I would say:
|
| You are here — now everything is good | You are here — now everything is good |
