Bitte geh nicht fort [English translation]

Please don't go away!

What I too have done,

what I too have said,

don't believe a word!

Don't think about it any more!

People often say in a fight,

words that they then

later deeply regret.

My heart wants

to be entirely yours,

Because I love you

I love only you!

Please don't go away!

Please don't go away!

Please don't go away!

Please don't go away!

Stay close to me,

Give me your hand!

I will explain to you

About a faraway land,

Where people know no anger,

and no tears,

and no power in the world

separates those who love.

Where in the wide meadow

no heartache blooms,

Where an oath of faith

holds for all eternity.

Please don't go away!

Please don't go away!

Please don't go away!

Please don't go away!

Please don't go away!

Don't leave me alone!

If you leave me,

The sky will fall.

Like once, let us

stand silently at the window,

to watch lost in a dream,

how the fogs swirl.

Upon the sky

The moon appearing full,

our two shadows

united lovingly.

Please don't go away!

Please don't go away!

Please don't go away!

Please don't go away!

Believe me, I will

quench your longing;

I will fulfill, for you,

every wish of this world.

I will do everything

which I have neglected,

To be the woman

you have dreamed of.

Don't leave me alone -

I'm begging you -

Don't leave me alone,

Because I love you!

Please don't go away!

Please don't go away!

Please don't go away!

Please don't go away!
