      E wieß Blatt Papier, ne Bleisteff / Jedanke bei dir setz ich / Am Finster un hür, wat sich / Avspillt vür der Dür, bes ich / Avrötsch en die Zick / En där et dich für mich nit jov / Un mir mi Levve, vürm Daach X / Op eimol vürkütt wie en Strof
      A white sheet of paper, a pencil / Thinking of you, I’m sitting / By the window, listening to what is / Going on outside the door, until I / Slide back into that time / When you didn’t exist for me / And in which my life, before D-Day / Suddenly appears to me like a punishment
