I stood before the door of the old house,
My eyes full of tears and heart full of hope
The wind brought delightful laughter of children
And tender evening sun warmed my memories
Years had passed and I came back
The door opened but no one welcomed me
...only silence
The day I was leaving,
I showed my friends an arrogant smile
Suddenly came the faceless chill
It poisoned my belief
and hope disappeared
I couldn't hide love in my heart
because it was too cold....
I lost my belief, my hope
and at last – my love
And then came endless days of joy,
long years of lies and hate
And what have I now?
...only silence
Die letzten Funken vom Sommer, der vergangen ist,
Glänzen helltönnend im Sternenstaub
im Himmel hoch oben und im Wasser unten
Sie plantschen leise unter unseren Pfoten
Nur ein Augenblick in der Welt der Herzlosigkeit
So gebrechlich und so stark
Manchmal können wir uns nicht halten,
Wir erheben uns nur um zu fallen
Nur Erinnerung und Schmerz bleiben unberührt
Alles Andere ist vorbei... ich bin wieder allein
Alles was ich hab`, ist Vorahnung des Nichts
Wenn fliegen die Momente in die Ewigkeit
Und meine Gegenwart wird zur Vergangenheit
Tag für Tag
Only the silence of the old house
Can reflect true life I live
Only the shadows of the old house
Can remind me everything, but they won’t forgive
