Du machst mich allein. Dich einzig kann ich vertauschen.
Eine Weile bist du's, dann wieder ist es das Rauschen,
oder es ist ein Duft ohne Rest.
Ach, in den Armen hab ich sie alle verloren,
du nur, du wirst immer wieder geboren:
weil ich niemals dich anhielt, halt ich dich fest.

You make me alone
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
You make me alone. Only you can I recast:
sometimes you're you, then later the rush of wind,
or a fragrance that does not last.
Ah, in my arms I have lost them all.
But you, you are forever reborn;
because I never have held you, I hold you fast.
