Ein Liebeslied [English translation]

Everything shines, this day

has turned out bright and clear.

It embraces me, smiles at me,

And moves on.

Everyone says have patience,

Your pain will fade.

But as far as I can see,

There's no comfort in sight for me.

'Cause the hole in my heart

Looks just like you

And no other lid

Can ever close it again

Can ever close it again.

I was formless, drifting,

I slept

I was colorless, I was empty

Until we met

With you my heart first took

Its final form

And now you're gone

But your image stays with me.1

1. Literally, "was never lost."
