Was ich dir sagen will deutsche Übersetzung
von Udo Jürgens

What I want to say to you
What I want to say to you I find so difficult.
The sheet of paper remains before me white and empty.
I don’t find the words, but believe me:
What I want to say to you, my piano speaks.


What I want to say to you, when we see each other.
I can only be speechless as you go by.
I turn around towards you and think to myself:
What I want to say to you, my piano speaks.

What cannot be said, because one feels so alone.
Like the surf that a rock washes up.
Which takes you and rips you into the depths.
I can feel it, but cannot say what it is called.

What I want to say to you, when you are with me.
Is so unspeakable, just believe me,
If you do not understand me, I promise you:
What I want to say to you, my piano speaks.
