Das Wenigste [English translation]
Das Wenigste [English translation]
When the lights come on again
The last song is sung
The show is over, the cheers faded away
Just the two of us and no audience
When they sweep away the empty cups
And we are no longer on a pedestal
No beat, no orchestra
Just silence between us, no more old lyrics
And we sit in the sober light
Around on boxes, backstage
We know how fleeting it is
When everything collapses between the chairs
I wanted to disappear into the fog
I could hardly stand anymore
Numb me, sink into the noise
You saw me
You saw me
At my blind spot
The least of me
And I heard how
Your voice broke
When there was nothing left of us
Just a word from you was enough
How many nights
Forgot to hang in cloakrooms?
And how many walls
Remember the fights that raged between us?
Behind how many curtains
Did you confess that you suppressed the tears?
And then we sang of love
Under how many stages was it buried?
I've packed suitcases a hundred times
You fled headlong from me
And frankly, we still argue a lot
We just make up sooner
And the droning in the ear no longer works
It just might get less disruptive over time
Only is the enemy of love
Not indifference disguised as peace
I wanted to disappear in the fog
Couldn't count the beat anymore
I wanted to go blind in the cone of light
Missing all keys
And you never wanted to sing again
Almost couldn't stand me
Numb you, sink into the noise
I saw you
You saw me
At my blind spot
The least of me
And I heard how
Your voice broke
When there was nothing left of us
Just a word from you was enough
I think about how it all started
It was just like Donny's song
I see the way we went
It feels like a Brel chanson to me
And when it's all over
And it's just the two of us here
And there is no one left to listen
Then I'll sing this song with you
You saw me
At my blind spot
The least of me
And I heard how
Your voice broke
When there was nothing left of us
Just a word from you was enough
