Nachts am Kanal [English translation]

I go for a walk

At the channel at night

Then, I see you

For the first time

The waves play

With your limbs

Silently you float

Up and down

My torso is pierces

From the spear of ice

Blood freezes

And sweat is cold

Your dress so tight

The lips are blue

The skin so pale

In the dawn

Beauty fades away

Where you are

the clockwork of the clock of life stands still

Love doesn't only

Consists of hours

A heart doesn't tear within seconds

I am going for a walk

At the channel at night

Then, I see you

For the second time

Beauty fades away

Where you are

the clockwork of the clock of life stands still

Love doesn't only

Consists of hours

A heart doesn't tear within seconds
