Der erste Winter English translation
von Cassandra Steen

In the morning, the light comes
As it does every morning
But it doesn’t get brighter
Everything stays hidden
I can feel in the dark
How much I will miss you
And in this dark emptiness
Only my pain still shines

And I know you have to go
And I know I have to let you


This is the first winter
In my life
My first winter
Without light
The first winter
I will survive it
The first winter
Without you
Without you
Without you

You said to me
“I know you’ll make it through
One day you won’t feel
So abandoned anymore”
You said to me
“Please promise me
That you’ll always belong
Only to yourself and to life”

And I know you have to go
And I know I have to let you


This is the first winter
In my life
My first winter
Without light
The first winter
I will survive it
The first winter
Without you
Without you
Without you

And I know you have to go
And I know I have to let you
I can see into the future
And I know I must not hate anyone

This is the first winter
In my life
My first winter
Without light
The first winter
I will survive it
The first winter
Without you
Without you
Without you
