Lyrics & Translation
At the edge
The night hides
Your last word
So cruel
So careless
Fate tears you away
From me
I let you go
I have to break free
Because my longing
Catches up with me
Forever yours
Forgive me – stay with me!
And I still said, Forget-me-not
I'll give you as a farewell
One last light
Forget-me-not
Forget-me-not
Forget-me-not (Forget-me-not)
Forget-me-not
Your gaze sinks
Into the night-red
I tear myself loose
With my last strength
So cruel
So sacred
You lie before me
It is done
I let you go
I have to break free
Because my longing
Catches up with me
Forever yours
Forgive me – stay with me!
And I still said, Forget-me-not
I'll give you as a farewell
One last light
Forget-me-not
Forget-me-not
Forget-me-not (Forget-me-not)
Stay with me
Forget-me-not
This time it will be forever
Even this wound will heal
I tear myself loose, I have to break free
Because our fate catches up with us
Forgive me – stay with me!
And I still said, Forget-me-not
I'll give you as a farewell
One last light
Forget-me-not
Forget-me-not
Forget-me-not (Forget-me-not)
Forgive me
Forget-me-not
