How do I tell you it's over
When I once told you forever
How do I explain that
It is more correct
To break your heart now
Because if I wait
It will be too late
How do I say such things
With one mouth
That once kissed and promised
A mouth that whispered
In the night, 'I love you! '
How do I say, I'm sorry
But things have changed
The sun no longer rises
In the east,
That love has found his
Eternal rest.
I bet you didn't know that
Only you ever loved me
Trusted and believed in me
So how do I say, I no longer do
It never rhymes
Where are the reasons?
I had this dream
Before I woke
I dreamt of you
But never saw you
At your place
You weren’t around
Strange face I found
Was not yours Dudu
I remember that year
When I ran after you
Convinced you were
My everything, the only thing
Not to feel it anymore
Has left a bottomless pit
In my heart, rivers flow
Across my face, from eye to ear
Down to the pillow
It's over
I don't attend funerals
I don't like goodbyes
Shall I see you, ever, again
Fall for you, over, again....
Tonight with an eye of mind
I watch and weep in pain
How do I say
I wish you love
When love doubts, dies
And then dumps
In my dream
A passer by asked me
About ‘my girl’
I couldn’t think of what to say
I wish you joy!
Joy, that neither doubts
Dies nor dumps
I wish you joy, I wish you joy
