Warum nur, warum deutsche Übersetzung
von Udo Jürgens

Why only, why
Why only, why
Must everything die away?
Why only, why
Does nothing remain?

You go away from me,
You do not turn around.
Please give me the answer:
Why only, why?

Why only, why
Blossom flowers so beautifully,
When they so soon
fade and die away?


A dream disappears
The hours are up!
Please give me the answer:
Why only, why?

I often hear your words:
"I am yours for ever!"
I believed you,
but it was only a pretence!

Why only, why
Must everything be so?
Why only, why
Am I now so alone?

Before you go
Turn around!
And then give me the answer:
Why only, why?
