Bei dir war es immer so schön English translation
von Hildegard Knef

With you, it was always so beautiful, and it’s unspeakably hard for me to leave
Because only with you was I truly at home, but the dream I dreamed here is over
Why did you hurt me so much, and what do I do without you?
With you, it was always so beautiful, but because you love another, I have to leave


Now everything, everything must end because I have lost you after all
And that my small world, like a house of cards, collapses, pains me greatly
I stand here with empty hands and am poorer than ever before
Because my wealth was only you, and now I ask myself, why did I come here?

With you, it was always so beautiful, and it’s unspeakably hard for me to leave
Because only with you was I truly at home, but the dream I dreamed here is over
Why did you hurt me so much, and what do I do without you?
With you, it was always so beautiful, but because you love another, I have to leave
