Vergoldet [English translation]

The car was driven by a man

He said: "Let's walk!"

I knew what he wanted to say:

"And if you want me, you have to go for it!"

The crime scene didn't show

What was about to happen there tonight

"Don't be scared, the light stays off

So that nobody can see us

Once we're in the backyard of the big city

The two of us are alone"

I scratched you and I pushed you away

And yet I still wanted to be with you

The two of us are gilded as we take a look at each other

The night is so dark

So far, it hasn't been painful

It's magic

Gilded, but not motionless

Your heart is making too much noise

But now you're taking my breath away

I'm offering you my skin

Our yearning was immense during our gold rush

We kept finding more

We didn't wait for us to come to our senses

I wanted you so much

But you came too close to me

There is no light that sets me free

I'm not scared, don't you tell on me

We've gone much too far

Into a small corner1 with a view of the wide world

Nobody is going to see us there

I resisted and I pushed you away

And yet I still have never wanted to leave you

The two of us are gilded as we take a look at each other

The night is so dark

So far, it hasn't been painful

It's magic

Gilded, but not motionless

Your heart is making too much noise

But now you're taking my breath away

I'm offering you my skin

Once we're in the backyard of the big city

The two of us are alone

I resisted and I pushed you away

And yet I still didn't want to ever leave
