Tears - Aeternitas, Johann Sebastian Bach

This cannot be the last goodbye

Why don’t we get a second try?

All of your tears I won’t forget

All of the words unspoken I regret

When will we meet again?

When will we go insane?

Wir setzen uns mit Tränen nieder

Und rufen dir im Grabe zu:

Ruhe sanfte!

Sanfte Ruh!

All I can do is close my eyes

Hoping one day you will arise

But in the end I have to see

Life will become a slipping memory

I cannot even cry!

We cannot ven die!

In tears I call you:

Rst in peace!

Live the life that I have missed

Fulfill my dreams;

don’t shed a tear over me!

Deep inside we all have died

We realize the truth when it’s much too late!
