My Friend's Wife
I know well why you are sad.I know why, don't lie to me!
I would be happy to lay my head
on your gentle shoulders.
But I have no right to that -
You are my friend's wife!
I know why you're leaving.
Why there's a tear shining.
I would whisper passionate words,
I would give you so much warmth.
But I have no right to that -
You are my friend's wife!
I stay awake all night
and I still cannot decide
whether I am wrong or right.
I know why you came to me.
You've lived for long in a cold world.
I see sparkles in your eyes,
but I am turning away.
Forgive me, go away, understand -
You are my friend's wife!
I dreamt of you, you were by my side
in a forest endless and green.
And under the flowering linden trees
you crashed your flaming lips into mine.
I woke up and it's tormenting me -
Why did not the dream go on?
It's dark outside, the wind is rustling.
There is no road or dreams ahead of us
and you are leaving in a minute...
Black spots upon my soul...
One thought keeps oppressing me -
You are my friend's wife...
My comrade's...
