Funkelperlenaugen English translation
von Pur

In the hurdle race over a thousand ifs and buts
Instead of straight ahead to an unknown goal
Once again, I'm standing in my own way
Where is the resting bench in this endless game?

I think too much about the day after tomorrow
Think too much about myself
I've lost sight of now and here and you
And what do you do?

You flash at me with your sparkling pearl eyes
That feels so good, there's so much in it for me
It helps much better than any talking, any thinking
Only feeling, only sensing now makes sense


The waves are almost crashing over us
But with you in the boat, I can endure any rough sea
The wind lashes my face again
But with you at my back, it hurts only half as much

Don't leave me alone with myself
Let me be completely with you
I still want to feel so much, you and now and here
And what do you do?

You flash at me with your sparkling pearl eyes...

It's like balm, like a real little miracle
It heals much better than any medicine

Come and hold me
Hold me tight and squeeze me
As tight as you can

You flash at me with your sparkling pearl eyes...
