Symphonie [English translation]

Just tell me what’s happened around us

Suddenly you seem completely unknown to me

Why don’t I feel good anymore?

When I lie in your arms

Does what happens to us no longer matter?

Where do you want to go, I can hardly see you

Our vanity puts itself in our way

Didn’t we want to risk everything

Have we perhaps betrayed each other?

I believed we really could bear everything

Symphony

And now it becomes still around us

Because we’re standing here in the rain, having nothing more to give to each other

And it’s better if you go

Because it’s time

To admit that it isn’t working

There’s nothing more to say, because when it only rains

It’s better to give up

And the silence over us thickens

I don’t understand a word out of your mouth

Did we try too hard?

Why couldn’t we foresee it?

It won’t be easy to recognize it all

Somewhere we fell down

And how it is, it doesn’t work anymore

The end was written long ago

And that was ours
