Elbe English translation
von Bozza

I don't remember how did your food taste?
How does your voice sound when you wake me up?
What was I like as a kid? Did I mess up a lot?
What did we do, were we alone at home?

What was it like for us here in Germany after the war?
Have you often been disappointed in your boys?
All I know, part of the family is missing
And that I love you just like that, ah

Sometimes I look at the stars at night
And I see your face in front of me
It is reflected so beautifully in the Elbe
Even though I know you're not here

Sitting at the harbor all alone in the cold
Even if I almost freeze to death
As if half of my heart is missing
All I have left is a piece of paper


I don't know if you hear me when I say something
Do you see me under the radar?
Are you really here when I'm not sleeping?
I can feel it, even if you don't say anything

I don't know if you hear me when I say something
Do you see me under the radar?
Are you really here when I'm not sleeping?
I can feel it, even if you don't say anything

Why couldn't you stay to see what we achieve?
To see your two boys finally stop fighting?
Why did you have to suffer so? I don't believe a word the doctors say
Why are they telling me you're in a better place now?

Ever since you left, papa has lost his memory
You died at thirty-five, today he's in his early sixties
Sitting at the port, my tears fall like drizzle
For us it means saying goodbye and praying for a reunion

Sometimes I look at the stars at night
And I see your face in front of me
It is reflected so beautifully in the Elbe
Even though I know you're not here


Sitting at the harbor all alone in the cold
Even if I almost freeze to death
As if half of my heart is missing
All I have left is a piece of paper

I don't know if you hear me when I say something
Do you see me under the radar?
Are you really here when I'm not sleeping?
I can still feel it, even if you don't say anything

I don't know if you hear me when I say something
Do you see me under the radar?
Are you really here when I'm not sleeping?
I can feel it, even if you don't say anything

Sometimes I look at the stars at night
And I see your face in front of me
It is reflected so beautifully in the Elbe
Even though I know you're not here

Sitting at the harbor all alone in the cold
Even if I almost freeze to death
As if half of my heart is missing
All I have left is a piece of paper

I don't know if you hear me when I say something
Do you see me under the radar?
Are you really here when I'm not sleeping?
I can feel it, even if you don't say anything

I don't know if you hear me when I say something
Do you see me under the radar?
Are you really here when I'm not sleeping?
I can still feel it, even if you don't say anything (even if you don't say anything)

Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh (even if you don't say anything)
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
