1000 Lieder [English translation]

I cry a few tears

They fall on a piece of paper

Blur all the corny words

I sing to the void

And the pain distorts the sounds

The world is upside down

When the heart loses its mind

A thousand songs are about you

And I don't know why

I still sing them for you

When they all sound so melancholy

A thousand songs cry for you

Are like hymns in me

But I can't find you here

A thousand songs, that's us

We are the ballad

The place where wounds torment me

The goose bumps, that never go away

The minor chord I fall asleep with every night

Until you in my dream

Are finally standing before me again

A thousand songs are about you

And I don't know why

I still sing them for you

When they all sound so melancholy

A thousand songs cry for you

Are like hymns in me

But I can't find you here

A thousand songs, that's us

We, a thousand songs, we are

Are like hymns in me

A thousand songs, we are

For what, oh we

A thousand songs, we are

Are like hymns in me

A thousand songs are we, only we
