2 Meter tiefer English translation
von Kontra K

Hello, Girl
I wanted to hear how you are and how the little ones are doing
If you can, give me a shout, call me back sometime
Thank you, bye

I'll see you again, just like before
Where you've been waiting for me for a few years
But only two metres deeper
I'll burn your face into my memory
Because I'm afraid I'll forget it


It was a long winter and a cool summer
I give you two sons and a daughter
If only I had one wish that I knew you'd see me
But the place is cold where you sat at every breakfast
I imagine I can still see your shadow
Where is this place where we both laugh again?
As if it were a treasure, I hide your things
And the coffee tastes bitter from your old cup
And no matter how often I look at the sky
I can't find your face anywhere up there
And I get angry, so damn angry
What are you thinking, not even talking to me?
I cling to the good moments
And force myself to think about you again and again
Almost obsessively (Almost obsessively)
Because I'm afraid I'll forget you one day

We'll see each other again, just like before
Where you've been waiting for me for a few years
But only two metres deeper
I'll burn your face into my memory
Because I'm afraid of forgetting it
We'll see each other again, just like before
Where you've been waiting for me for a few years
But only two metres deeper


Please be patient, I can't leave here yet
Because I have a debt, I'll pay it quickly
I'll make them big, good-natured and wise
And when I've done that, I'll leave this world too
Are you waiting for me where you are, or is this all there is?
Why do I only wake up when I dream that I'm falling?
Could it be that God wants you for himself alone
Or why doesn't he take us all?
Tell me you're proud or disappointed again
It doesn't matter, but say something, I need your voice
Death is a game, plays with life
Because grief stabs deep with a dull blade
All I have is paper and a little ink
But your soul doesn't fit on a picture
I know you're still out there somewhere
And honestly, I hope you're waiting for me

We'll meet again, just like before
Where you've been waiting for me for a few years
But only two metres deeper
I'll burn your face into my memory
Because I'm afraid of forgetting it
We'll see each other again, just like before
Where you've been waiting for me for a few years
But only two metres deeper
