Abschied ist ein bißchen wie sterben [English translation]

Your voice sound so peculiar today, your eyes

I used to know full of warmth all of a sudden look so serious

and they no longer betray what you feel

And like a little child I hope that those words of yours

aren't truthful; that you're lying when you say

that you're going 'cause you don't love me anymore.

Goodbye is a little like dying,

it is like losing everything because you're no longer there.

Goodbye is a little like dying,

When you're no longer with me, what have I lived for?

I need your security; it is not just

the fear of loneliness, that takes my breath,

making me sad and bewildered.

To me you're not just a man one can know

understand and forget, for even

when things turned badly for us, you laughed through your tears.

Goodbye is a little like dying,

is like losing everything because you're no longer there.

Goodbye is a little like dying,

When you're no longer with me, what have I lived for?

Please leave me the hope, think about it

once more, whether the dream you dream

is worth just to go away

You must know that I fight for you; when you say

it's over, I don't believe it, for I need

to hear you talk and to see you smile.

You know like no other man what I feel and how I

can lose myself; I was your child at times,

your friend, lover and wife.

Should all that come to an end and is it clear to you

what will be left for us? One cannot build a future

anymore on the remnants of love.

Please believe me.

Goodbye is a little like dying,

it is like losing everything because you're no longer there.

Goodbye is a little like dying,

When you're no longer with me, what have I lived for?

When you're no longer with me, what have I lived for?

Goodbye is a little like dying,
