Sehnsucht ist unheilbar English translation
von Juliane Werding

When she looked in the mirror
One morning, strangely
She didn't recognize herself
Thirty years in her face
Honestly, but it didn't fit
Because her heart was only seventeen

She never wanted to accept a "No"
She never wanted to lose her curiosity
And she still saw herself driving in a convertible
With the wind in her open hair
Longing is incurable

Watching TV in the evening, going out in the morning
Neighborly gossip in the stairwell
Every hour accounted for
Shopping trip to the supermarket
Cooking, ironing - day after day
Was that really her world?


She never wanted to accept a "No"
She never wanted to lose her curiosity
And she still saw herself driving in a convertible
With the wind in her open hair
Longing is incurable

When he came home last night
His dinner wasn't ready
And she wasn't standing at the door
He saw the empty cupboard
And without really understanding
He read this letter from her

"I will never accept a 'No'
I never want to lose my curiosity
And I still see myself driving in a convertible
With the wind in my open hair
Don't wait for me"

Because longing is incurable
Don't wait for me
Because longing is incurable"
Longing is incurable
Longing is incurable
