Ich will dich nicht verlier'n English translation
von Johannes Oerding

That's it, the final whistle has blown.
It cracked differently when you left in a huff again.
You could immediately hear that something inside had broken.

I'm still running after it
"Relax," says the pilot, the last ship is gone and spits into the gray sea
Tonight the ice will come and lock us in forever

I don't want to lose you and I don't want you back
Get lost, come back, it's so easy, it's so hard
I don't want to lose you and I don't want you back
I'll make a fire on the ice that burns for us and sinks us

The train slowly starts moving
Should I stay, should I jump on, I think, while I'm already running, it was nice while it lasted
And I see myself getting smaller and smaller, still standing on the platform


I don't want to lose you and I don't want you back
Go away, come back, it's so easy, it's so hard
I don't want to lose you and I don't want you back
I'll make a fire on the ice that burns for us and sinks us

So often terrible and so often terribly beautiful
You can't stare into the sun for too long
And if everything has its time, ours is slowly running out
And I don't need any more answers from you, because I have no questions

I don't want to lose you and I don't want you back
Go away, come back, it's so easy, it's so hard
I don't want to lose you and I don't want you back
I'll make a fire on the ice that burns for us and sinks us

I don't want to lose you and I don't want you back
Get lost, come back, it's so easy, it's so hard
I've already lost you and I don't want to go back
Humans have eyes in the front so they don't only look backwards
