Seven Tears Are Flowing To The River

Seven Tears Are Flowing To The River

Seven Tears Are Flowing To The River

Seven Tears are flowing to the riverSeven Tears are flowing to the river
And six of 'em are mineAnd six of 'em are mine
And I tasted the foreign juiceUnd ich kostete den fremden Saft
That mingled with mineDer sich mit meinigem vermengte
To interpret in it that powerUm zu deuten in ihm jene Kraft
That I gave to so manyDie an so viele ich verschenkte
And joy was in my mouthUnd freud war er in meinen Mund
And I plunged into deep seaUnd ich stürzt' in tiefe See'
And the old wound hurtsUnd es schmerzt die alte Wunde
That sneers in all the painDie geifernd lacht in all dem Weh'
But as the flood carried his bodyDoch als die flut sein Leichnam barg

After he lost tears, six in numberNachdem er Tränen verlor, sechs an der Zahl
The water became his coffinDas wasser ward zu seinem Sarg
A Seventh poured out, out of tormentEine Siebte sich ergoß, aus Qual
And as the river guided the tearsUnd als der fluß die Tränen geleitet
Towards the eternal seaHin zu ew'gen Meer
Love was finally prepared for himWard ihm endlich Lieb' bereitet
But he will never knowDoch das er weiß wohl nimmer mehr

And if time could now flow backwardsUnd könnt die Zeit verkehrt nun fließen
And if all the pain were just a dreamUnd sei nur Traum der ganze Schmerz
He would embrace her in his armsWird er um sie die Arme schließen
And love would be around both heartsUnd Liebe sei um beider herz
