Wenn mir die Worte fehlen English translation
von Wincent Weiss

I'm drifting through the streets,
Like a small boat in the sea.
I'm hearing only white noise,
I'm hearing only this noise.
Words are like waves,
Breaking together over me.
Is anybody out there,
Who can understand me,
Who can understand me?

Listen to me when I'm silent,
Look deeper within.
Listen to me when I show you,
Who I really am.
Listen to me when I'm silent,
I have so much to tell.
And I often speak more softly,
When words,
When words fail me.


Full heads, empty phrases.
Everyone talks on principle.
A thousand sentences that tell you,
That there's nothing to say.
Words are like walls,
They let nothing in.
Feeling knows no language,
It's universal.
It's universal.

Listen to me when I'm silent,
Look deeper within.
Listen to me when I show you,
Who I really am.
Listen to me when I'm silent,
I have so much to tell.
And my I often speak more softly,
When words fail me.

'Cause how often is it, that what one doesn't say,
Is what it's really about?
And it's so often that what's between the lines,
Is that which really counts!


Listen to me when I'm silent,
Look deeper within.
Listen to me when I show you,
Who I really am.
Listen to me when I'm silent,
I have so much to tell.
'Cause I often speak more softly,
When words fail me.
