Unendlich [English translation]

The last time when we met,

You said to me, that tomorrow you would give your life away.

I immediately saw in your eyes,

That you were again sinking your dreams in the bottle.

You said, "Don't you know the saying:

Give a man just enough rope, and he'll hang himself?"

That your wife and your daughter

Would not weather out your plans, you accepted.

That doesn't interest you at all anymore,

Your last laugh is already so long ago.

We will all probably never understand you,

The world is darker without you.

Leave me -- injure me.

Your hate is fleeting.

At the beginning -- at the end,

because nothing is eternal.

That you didn't want people to cry over you,

had only made everything worse.

At the burial in spring the sun shone,

but nonetheless no one laughed.

That your wife expected another child from you

was for everyone like a stab in the chest.

And all your friends said:

"If would have helped him, if only I had known."

That doesn't interest you at all anymore,

Your last laugh is already so long ago.

We will all probably never understand you,

The world is darker without you.

Leave me -- injure me.

Your hate is fleeting.

At the beginning -- at the end,

because nothing is eternal.
