Nur die Nacht English translation
von Kool Savas

And all I have left is the night, only the night
And sad songs
I miss you
Nothing is like it was, and they say
"It'll be alright"
But that's not true
Nothing will be like it was

My life was messed up when I met you
Not tough enough for the streets, but you were there for me
No one had to explain to me what was lovable about you
Because you painted pictures, composed songs for me

You built me up and distracted me, gave me hope in times of need
Kept my pride intact, even when they bullied me in the yard
Prophecy on vinyl, you became my religion
We'd just met, but I knew: I'll never get over you

I hung the apprenticeship on the nail, mic from Shure in my hand
We eloped, with you I went from a boy to a man
Dedicated my life to you, not just a part of it
Went all the way to the top, stood at your front


Looking back now and it seems like I had everything, but I didn’t do much for you
Your name remains forever tattooed on this arm
You freed me, we were meant to be for life
Yet I sit here and write alone right now

And all I have left is the night, only the night
And sad songs
I miss you
Nothing is like it was, and they say
"It'll be alright"
But that's not true
Nothing will be like it was

Sometimes I don't want to share you, just for me
Think I realize what makes you tick after all this time together
They censored you and talked you down
I, on the other hand, felt like a champ for the first time in my life thanks to you

That's why I'm standing in a tunnel, blasting paint at the train
No matter what I try to do to get even, it's not enough
Occasionally it seemed to me that I was following you around
And use for the place that's in front of my single in the charts

Is it a coincidence that “change” sounds like “end”?
As if you're no longer swimming on the same wave as my flow
You show yourself in a different robe, but our bond will never break
We're still pulling in the same direction, just from different sides


Don't be afraid to lose you, you're with me every day
Stay hip-hop, whether I'm wearing a hoodie or leather pants
You made me rich, we're both meant for life
That's why I'm sitting here writing with you

And all I have left is the night, just the night
And sad songs
I miss you
Nothing is as it was, and they say
“It'll be all right”
But it's not true
Nothing will be like it was

Wh-w-when they reminisce
Wh-wh-when they reminisce
Re-remi-re-remi-reminisce
Wh-w-when they reminisce over you

Wh-w-w-when they reminisce
Wh-w-when they, wh-when they reminisce
Re-re-re-re-re-reminisce
Wh-when they reminisce over you, my god
