Seitdem du mich verlassen

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Seitdem du mich verlassen,
Was ist das Leben mir,
Ich könnt sie alle hassen,
Die mich getrennt von dir,

Die Welt ist blind zu glauben,
Sie habe uns getrennt,
Kann man die Liebe rauben
Die mir im Herzen brennt.

Dir folgen die Gedanken
Und sei du noch so weit,
Dein Bild wird nimmer wanken,
In Zeit und Ewigkeit.

Since you left me

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Since you left me
What is life to me?
I could hate all of those
who took you from me.

The world is foolish to believe
It has separated us,
for can one steal
the love that burns in my heart?

My thoughts follow you
and no matter how distant you are
the image I have of you will never falter,
in Time and Eternity.
