Einsam English translation
von Subway to Sally

My life drags on lonely
A spring that runs over rocks
That never pours into the stream
And yet gains course and strength

Like ivy that lies on the ground
And not a tree in sight
That it embraces, because it carries it
On its way up to the light

Alone I will go down
(And sink in the sands of time)
One day I will rise
(Alone I will drink from the spring)
Alone I will go down
(Like a ship in desert seas)
I will go down alone
One day return


Like a mantle lies around me
Soft and heavy the loneliness
And my blood is calm and cold
Serenity grows within me

Ravens fly in flocks
The eagle flies alone into the light
And only a fool needs company
I don't need all this

Alone I will go down
(And sink in the sands of time)
One day I'll rise again
(Alone I'll drink from the spring)
Alone I will go down
(Like a ship in desert seas)
I will go down alone
One day return

I'll go my way alone
And be my own best friend
For there is nothing in the world
That I ever dreamed of


I'll go down alone
(I'll go down alone)
I'll go down alone
(I'll go down alone)
I'll go down alone
(I'll go down alone)
One day I will rise

Alone I will go down
(And sink in the sands of time)
One day I'll rise again
(Alone I'll drink from the spring)
Alone I will go down
(Like a ship in desert seas)
I will go down alone

(I'll go down alone)
I will go down alone
to return one day
