Lacrimosa - Ich Verlasse Heut' Dein Herz

Ich verlasse heut' Dein Herz
Verlasse Deine Nähe
Die Zuflucht Deiner Arme
Die Wärme Deiner Haut
Wie Kinder waren wir
Spieler - Nacht für Nacht
Dem Spiegel treu ergeben
So tanzten wir bis in die Nacht...

I leave behind your heart today,
leave behind your nearness,
the shelter of your arms,
the warmth of your skin.
Like children were we,
Players - night after night,
faithfully loyal to the mirror,
so we danced into the night ...


Ich verlasse heut' Dein Herz
Verlasse Deine Liebe

Ich verlasse heut' Dein Herz
Verlasse Deine Liebe

I leave behind your heart today,
leave behind your love


Ich verlasse Deine Tränen
Verlasse was ich hab'
Ich anbefehle heut Dein Herz
Dem Leben - der Freiheit Und der Liebe
So bin ich ruhig -
Da ich Dich liebe!

I leave behind your tears,
leave behind what I have.
I confide in your heart today,
to the life – the freedom and the love.
This way I am untroubled -
because I love you!


Im Stillen Laß ich ab von Dir
Der letzte Kuß - Im Geist verweht
Was Du denkst bleibst Du mir schuldig
Was ich fühle das verdanke ich Dir
Ich danke Dir für all die Liebe
Ich danke Dir in Ewigkeit

In secret I let go of you.
The last kiss – drifts away in the mind.
What you think remains unanswered for me.
What I feel, this I owe you.
I thank you for all the love.
I thank you in eternity.


Ich verlasse heut' Dein Herz
Verlasse Deine Liebe
Ich verlasse Dein Herz
Dein Leben - Deine Küsse
Deine Wärme - Deine Nähe –
Deine Zärtlichkeit

I leave behind your heart today,
leave behind your love,
I leave behind your heart,
your life – your kisses,
your warmth – your nearness –
your tenderness


Ich verlasse heut' Dein Herz
Ich verlasse heut' Dein Herz

Ich anbefehle heut Dein Herz
I send away your heart today,
anbefehlen means something close to anvertrauen, it's not commonly used anymore in the allday language, yet in a religious context it's still common. So I'd have used confide in this case.

Was Du denkst bleibst Du mir schuldig
What you think you owe me remains.
What you are thinking, I might never know
That's not so literal as you might see. Jemandem etwas schuldig bleiben, for example jemandem eine Antwort schuldig bleiben, means that you are stuck on answer, that you didn't give one. In this case the singer did never know what the other person was thinking while she/he left him/her. My way of putting it is just one possibility, maybe you've got a better idea!

Hi Steena,

this song was very tricky for me. I couldn't find much information for"anbefehlen". thanks for clearing that up.

"Was Du denkst bleibst Du mir schuldig"
What do you think about ...What you think/are thinking remains unanswered/unsaid/unspoken/unknown for/to me. Since it hasn't been communicated it is owed? Do any of these sound better? Perhaps I should just stick with your suggestion. I don't know. Opinion?

Yes, that's also a way to put it When leaving the literal plain, more than one thing is right/possible.

aww thats beautiful
