Es ist vorbei [English translation]

Nothing here is forever

Even if it seem so

You suddenly awake

And are alone

The streets are still gloomy

Just like it is every year

The clock ticks endlessly 1

You are alone

Even now...

You were a part of a beautiful world

An endless one

Just now...

You were a part of eternity

Which by now is the past

It is over

It is over

It is over

You get up again

And look out the window

Everything is still as it was before

The day laughs very loudly

And wants to be on2your face

You draw the curtains

And remain there.
