I don't want to imagine how it would be if you leave before me
For whom should I die if I live for you?
How should I love when my heart only beats for you?
Do you take me from this Earth if you leave before me?
I know that nothing's forever, yeah
I don't want to live forever, no
Unless you're still with me then
If I knew you only had one day left
Tell me, may I then be in your arms?
And then I'll just fall asleep with you
I don't want to imagine how it would be if you leave before me
For whom should I die if I live for you?
How should I love when my heart only beats for you?
Do you take me from this Earth if you leave before me?
There are people who mean a lot to me
But only you make my eyes light up
And you don't even need a reason for it
They say we come back as stars
If you see my tears from above, then
Rest assured, I'm looking up at you
I don't want to imagine how it would be if you leave before me
For whom should I die if I live for you?
How should I love when my heart only beats for you?
Do you take me from this Earth if you leave before me?

Unendlich — Infinitely / Endlessly

Unendlich translates to "infinitely" or "endlessly". It's a beautiful and profound word that goes beyond simple duration, implying a boundless quality.

In the song, Hava sings, "Unendlich leben will ich nicht, nein / Außer, wenn du dann noch bei mir bist" (I don't want to live endlessly, no / Unless you are still with me then). She uses this word to express a deep desire for her loved one's presence, suggesting that even eternal life is only desirable if shared with them. It adds a poetic and emotional depth to the lyrics.

Hava's song "Wenn Du Vor Mir Gehst" is a really emotional look at the fear of losing someone you love. It's all about that intense feeling where you can't even imagine life without them. The lyrics, "Ich will mir nicht vorstellen, wie es wäre, wenn du vor mir gehst" [I don't want to imagine what it would be like if you went before me], really set the tone. It's not just about missing them; it's about how their presence defines everything – even the reason for living, as she sings, "Für wen soll ich denn sterben, wenn ich für dich leb'?" [For whom should I die if I live for you?].

She takes this idea even further, questioning how she could ever love again if her heart only beats for this one person. There's a beautiful, almost desperate plea in the line, "Nimmst du mich mit von dieser Erde, wenn du vor mir gehst?" [Will you take me with you from this earth if you go before me?]. It's clear this person is the light in her life, the one who makes her eyes shine, and the thought of an eternity without them is just unbearable. Even the idea of coming back as stars is connected to them, with her looking up if they see her tears. It's a powerful song about deep, all-consuming love and the fear of its end.
