Forgive me, my love, that the river of wordsI cut right in half with a knife,The gentle babbling, the love of the waveI turned back and shattered drop by drop!
In the cave of the chest on the jagged shorePlease do not leave my fragile soul,The castle of feeling begun long agoCannot fall like a pile of sand!
I know that I broke the mirror of your soulLike a wicked, uncouth vagabond,Like a worm I slowly gnawed at your heartWandering the streets in vain, without aim.
Forgive me for weaving with a poet's mindA trap of figures with words,Where my anxious mind could not sleep all nightHumming and roaring like the rolling sea.
Forgive me, my love, that the fragile flowerIn your blossoming garden of green,With the clouds of rain and the sorrowful windI flooded with water as I rushed past!
Take me, please, into your armsRock me slowly, strike me,So I don't wander the streets aimlessly for lifeKiss me, hold me, and hold me fast.
Gift me kisses, a waterfall of murmursSo the dream comes wave upon wave,So caravans of sorrow flee and departSlowly from the desert of the soul.
And open an oasis, where the water springs forthFor love itself to drink with thirst,Gift me only slow caressesIn the night of my terrors.
Long is this night, as long as life,Sorrowful with anxiety and dread,How heavily the truth strikes with spearsAnd shoots the soul when it takes aim.
Kiss me, my love, kiss me endlesslyDown to the last cell in my cold soul,Without your words it cannot go onIt trembles, it is cold in this world.
Come and give me your little handTo walk together on the road we began,And stay by my side in life foreverTo stroll like two lovers for life.
Hold me fast, hold me fast, to melt and be wrungIn your arms to flow drop by drop,For sharp pains have crushed my soulI will die thirsty for love and light.
Besides you in the world I have no one elseI am a yellowed leaf, shaken by the wind,Never leave me there where you found meWithout you in the world I am a lost battle...
Only your presence makes me happy.
