Und wenn ein Lied [English translation]

And if my lips sing a sad song tonight

It’s only so that you find the light

Through this night, as the darkness disappears

No longer will you know any fears

Feel the stillness all around you

See how the desert lives

Hear the sound beneath the silence

Of the peaceful calm that finally comes

In this barren land of concrete and stone

Comes a peace that grief cannot deny

As the hours go by

You’ll no longer cry

Even as your pain spans to the sky

And if my lips sing a sad song tonight

It’s only so that you find the light

Through this night, as the darkness disappears

No longer will you know any fears

It’s a song I sing for you alone

Heard / sung only if you’re calmed / soothed

For these words choke off my voice

Like the night engulfs the world

Brutal, lonely parting sorrow

I am prepared for your first blow

I am the first of your beloved you leave behind / that you’ve freed

And one of the last who will mourn your life / your memory

In our hourglass the last grain falls

With you I’ve won although I lose it all

And there’s nothing that I’m left to miss

All we possess remains with us in memories

The last reminder of you frozen in time

As twilight separates your world from mine
