Lyrics & translation
Verse
White silk drags in the dirt.
Weiße Seide schleift im Dreck.
The last ferry sailed away.
Die letzte Fähre fuhr fort.
Crickets sing in the tall grass.
Grillen singen im hohen Gras.
I am waiting here for you.
Ich warte hier auf dich.
Chorus
Our wedding night is quiet.
Unsere Hochzeitsnacht ist still.
Stars watch over my veil.
Sterne bewachen meinen Schleier.
The long road is empty.
Der lange Weg ist leer.
Our wedding night is quiet.
Unsere Hochzeitsnacht ist still.
Verse
Moonlight stays on my skin.
Mondlicht bleibt auf meiner Haut.
Cold wind moves the lace.
Kalter Wind bewegt die Spitze.
I kick off my tight shoes.
Ich ziehe meine engen Schuhe aus.
Resting by the dusty gate.
Ruhend am staubigen Tor.
Chorus
Our wedding night is quiet.
Unsere Hochzeitsnacht ist still.
The long road is empty.
Der lange Weg ist leer.
Our wedding night is quiet.
Unsere Hochzeitsnacht ist still.
Bridge
No music plays out here.
Hier spielt keine Musik.
Only the beat of my heart.
Nur der Schlag meines Herzens.
The distance belongs to us.
Die Ferne gehört uns.
I am already home.
Ich bin schon zu Hause.
Chorus
Our wedding night is quiet.
Unsere Hochzeitsnacht ist still.
Stars watch over my veil.
Sterne bewachen meinen Schleier.
The long road is empty.
Der lange Weg ist leer.
Our wedding night is quiet.
Unsere Hochzeitsnacht ist still.
