Warum nur, warum? [English translation]

Only why, why everything has to pass by?

Oh... only why, why nothing stays forever?

You leave me, you don't turn your head back

Give me the answer - only why, why?

Only why, why the flowers bloom so beautiful

Oh... when will they fade and die?

A dream escapes, the time is up

Please, give me the answer - only why, why?

Often I hear your words: I will be yours in eternity

I believed you, but it was just a pretence

Oh yes... only why, why should everything be like this?

Oh... only why, why am I so alone?

Before you leave me, turn your head back

And then give me the answer - only why, why?

Why? Why?
