Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Bernstein by Joachim Witt from German to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Trauer und Schuld
Grief and guilt
Mein Herz konnt' verzweifelter nicht sein
My heart couldn't be more desperate
So lag ich am Strand
So I lay on the beach
Wo Wind nur und Möwen heiser schreien
Where only wind and seagulls scream hoarsely
In mir war Liebe zu Stein geworden
Love had turned to stone inside me
Ich floh so weit
I fled so far
Gefrorene Zeit
Frozen time
Und all das Leid
And all the suffering
Doch ich entkam mir selber nicht
But I couldn't escape myself
Hart, schlug ich auf
Hard, I pitched
Um mich herum schwand alles Licht
All the light around me disappeared
In mir war Liebe zu Stein geworden
Love had turned to stone inside me
Ich floh so weit
I fled so far
Gefrorene Zeit
Frozen time
Und all das Leid
And all the suffering
Einst aus einer Wunde
Once from a wound
Zäh hervorgequollen
Toughly oozed out
Wurde Leid zu Stein
Sorrow turned to stone
Bis er verbrennt
Until it burns
Ich floh so weit
I fled so far
Gefrorene Zeit
Frozen time
Und all das Leid
And all the suffering
Ich warte auf dich
I'm waiting for you
