Die Töne sind verklungen English translation
von Peter Maffay

THE SOUNDS FADED AWAY

1) The sounds faded away
They let us feel the silence
It's getting so empty
The pictures have disappeared
But the colours are still shining bright
The friends have left
But the friendship will stay alive
The mirror is broken
And I see you a thousand times


2) Gone, faded away and disappeared
Every word is gone with the wind
I know the sounds have disappeared
But the song will never die
It's sounding forevermore

3) The sounds faded away
Like a last breath
It's getting so cold
The sun has gone down
But the earth is still warm
And an old tree
Weathered by the storm
Is living on in every leaf
The wave shattering on the beach
Giving its power to the ocean

(Refrain 2x Vers 2 )
