Translation: There were no colors at our first meeting; monochrome blew through. I will devote each pain to you. My scars are traced forcefully. The unforgiving fall comes, and your cool fingers still beckon me. After my bothersome, icy self has melted, You gently rescue me and play with me on your upper lip. Even so, I search for that one form of love. Your dried eyes tie it from a time long ago to now. If you can, wrap me up like this and let it all end. Together we concealed our pale skin. The moon is hiding, too. Since that time, how many nights have I come to like? In a sea of dependence, I even forget how to breathe. In a daze before me, even half-heartedness is left behind. The art of knowing when to quit, I hate your proud kiss. Don't leave me alone! Understand and color me already. Which words will manage to slip out of your room? Can you teach me anything more than becoming confused and falling asleep? Only the moon is looking at the puzzled sighs in the questions of your smile. At the place on the ceiling the next long needle will reach, You will not be there anymore. And I will no longer need you. Even so, I definitely searched for a form of love. Your dried eyes tie it from a time long ago to now. If you can, wrap me up like this and let it all end. This wish and the night bring along the morning in vain. With your gentle, hot, yet cowardly kiss This final night is colored, And the moon shines upon us.
