Die Gier Lyrics in English by In Extremo
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Die Gier by In Extremo from German to English.
Wenn die Nacht für uns gemacht
When the night is made for us
Dunkle Schleier schickt
Sends dark veils
Wenn keine Liebe schlafend liegt
When no love lies sleeping
Der Zeiger weiterrückt
The hand moves on
Wenn Leidenschaft mich besiegt
When passion defeats me
Das Feuer entfacht
Ignites the fire
Wird mein Herz
My heart will be
Von dir getrieben
Driven by you
Ich komm zu dir wenn alles schläft
I come to you when everything sleeps
Ich komm zu dir nur in der Nacht
I come to you only at night
Ich warte dass die Sonne untergeht
I wait for the sun to set
Und beug mich zitternd deiner Macht
And trembling, I bow to your power
Still die Gier, die Gier in mir
Still the greed, the greed in me
Halt mich fest
Hold me tight
Still die Gier, die Gier in mir
Still the greed, the greed in me
Erhöre mich
Hear me
Es leuchten die Sterne
The stars are shining
Am weiten Himmelszelt
In the wide expanse of the sky
Für dich und mich
For you and me
Bis die Nacht zerfällt
Until the night fades away
Wenn der Atem lusterfüllt
When breath is lust-filled
Die Lippen brennen
The lips burn
Wenn dies Licht uns erhellt
When this light illuminates us
Wirst du erkennen
You will recognize
Das Herzensglut Ketten sprengt
That heart's glow breaks chains
Die Qual verfällt
The torment fades
Wir verglühen
We burn out
Es wird Zeit
It's time
Ich komm zu dir wenn alles schläft
I come to you when everything sleeps
Ich komm zu dir nur in der Nacht
I come to you only at night
Ich warte dass die Sonne untergeht
I wait for the sun to set
Und beug mich zitternd deiner Macht
And trembling, I bow to your power
Still die Gier, die Gier in mir
Still the greed, the greed in me
Halt mich fest
Hold me tight
Still die Gier, die Gier in mir
Still the greed, the greed in me
Still die Gier, die Gier in mir
Still the greed, the greed in me
Halt mich fest
Hold me tight
Still die Gier, die Gier in mir
Still the greed, the greed in me
