Und der Regen rinnt, und der Regen rinnt... Ich denk im Dunklen an dich, mein Kind. Hoch sind die Berge und tief ist das Meer, mein Herz ist müd und sehnsuchtsschwer. Und der Regen rinnt, und der Regen rinnt... Warum bist du so fern, mein Kind? Und der Regen rinnt, und der Regen rinnt... Gott selbst hat uns getrennt, mein Kind. Du sollst nicht Leid und Elend sehn, sollst nicht auf steinigen Gassen gehn. Und der Regen rinnt, und den Regen rinnt... Hast du mich nicht vergessen, Kind?

And the rain falls, and the rain falls, In the darkness I'm thinking of you, my child. The mountains are high, and the sea is deep, My heart is tired and weighted with longing. And the rain falls, and the rain falls, Why are you so far away, my child? And the rain falls, and the rain falls, God himself has separated us, my child. You are not to see pain and suffering, [You are] not to walk upon stony streets. And the rain falls, and the rain falls, Have you not forgotten me, my child?
