Deine Spuren im Sand English translation
von Howard Carpendale

We had sun and stars
And the swell and the vast sea.
And it felt as if time
Was firmly in my hands.
There were only the two of us for me,
I knew I had you.
So simple and clear,
But everything was.

Your footprints in the sand,
That I found yesterday.
The tide has taken them away.
What remains only for me?
Your love, it faded,
Like the footprints in the sand.
What is left for me?
Only the longing for you.


I don’t know when you started
To walk along the beach without me.
And when I asked the little stars
To look away silently.
Until one understands the whole truth
It’s often too late.
Here I am now.
What can I do?

Your footprints in the sand,
That I found yesterday.
The tide has taken them away.
What remains only for me?
Your love, it faded,
Like the footprints in the sand.
What is left for me?
Only the longing for you.

Your love, it faded,
Like the footprints in the sand.

Only the longing for you.


Your footprints in the sand,
That I found yesterday.
The tide has taken them away.
What remains only for me?
