Auf Wiedersehen
Laith Al-Deen Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Je fester wir uns aneinander krallen,
umso größer der Traum aus dem wir fallen.
Wir gehen auf Distanz, seh´n uns an und vergessen uns ganz.

Wir waren wie verzaubert, hab mich kaum erkannt.
Deine Augen so tief, das ich darin ertrank.
Ist ne Ewigkeit her und das erinnern fällt mir schwer.

Denn wir dachten wir wären schon ziemlich nah dran,
jetzt wird mir klar wie man sich täuschen kann.
Wir reden nicht mehr, denn wo wir jetzt stehen, sagt man
nichtmal Auf Wiedersehen.

Es ist an der Zeit, kein letzter Versuch.
Es scheint unsere Liebe war nicht genug.
Ich gib zu es ist schwer, wir sind nicht so stark
wie wir gerne wären.

Denn die Wahrheit tut weh und zeigt sich überall,
in Tagen und Nächten, sie bringt uns zu Fall.
Wir reden nicht mehr, denn wo wir jetzt stehen, sagt man
nichtmal Auf Wiedersehen.

Denn wir dachten wir wären schon ziemlich nah dran,
jetzt wird mir klar wie man sich täuschen kann.

Wir reden nicht mehr, denn wo wir jetzt stehen, sagt man
nichtmal Auf Wiedersehen.
