Translation of Nur Einen Kuss from German to English
Just a kiss, that's all I want from you
The summer was short, winter is at the door
If you don't kiss me, you might stay alone
And who wants to be alone in winter?
I got my kiss and gave her my heart in return
Soon after, a stranger came to our town
(But I believed in love)
I don't know what she saw in him
(And I believed in love)
She started to take a lot of interest in him
We were a couple, what could possibly happen?
But soon after, the tables turned
By the first snow, we were no longer together
(But I believed in love)
Because the strange man came and took her away from me
(I still believed in love)
For a few weeks, she was radiating with happiness
Then he left and said he would be back soon
She was still waiting when spring came
The grass turned green, she became thin and pale
Because she believed in love
Because she sat crying at the window every day
Her love was too great
Did she think of him when she finally died?
I laid a red rose on her grave
Tell me, what can you rely on in this world?
For months I traveled through the country
There wasn't much left for me
It was almost autumn when I finally found him
There stood her great love
I invited him for a drink until it was dark
He was staggering, but he didn't suspect the danger
Until I tied him to a tree
The full moon rose, my knife was as cold as it
Tell me, do you believe in love?
"Do you remember? It's not that long ago"
This is the price for your love
I cut the stranger just a little bit
And I got my heart back
Then I returned home, but I never kissed again
Because I no longer believe in love
Never again
No longer in love
Never again
Never again
