Nichts ist gekommen, nichts wird kommen für meine Seele.
Ich habe gewartet, gewartet, oh - gewartet!
Die Tage werden dahinschleichen, und umsonst wehen
meine aschblonden seidenen Haare um mein bleiches Antlitz!

Nothing comes, nothing will ever come for my Soul
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Nothing comes, nothing will ever come for my Soul.
I have waited, waited, oh waited !
The days are creeping past, they flutter away.
My ashblond silken hair blows pointlessly over my sallow face.
