OHNE DICH.

For many a month now Christiejolu over at TALES FROM MY HEAD has been educating me in her favourite band ALICE IN CHAINS (click HERE for video clip) so today I thought I'd return the compliment by posting one of my favourite songs Ohne Dich (Without You) by German group, RAMMSTEIN.


Sung in German (which I don't speak though Husband dearest does) I thought the song was beautiful and once translated into English I came to realise just how meaningful the words
actually were, so much so that I have requested (a bit maudlin I know) that it be played at my funeral.

I'm going to go into the fir trees
There where I last saw her
But the evening is throwing a cloth upon the land
and upon the ways behind the edge of the forest
And the forest it is so black and empty
Woe is me, oh woe
And the birds sing no more

Without you I cannot be Without you
With you I am alone too Without you
Without you I count the hours without you
With you the seconds stand still

They aren't worth it

On the branches in the ditches
it's now silent and without life
And breathing becomes oh so hard for me
Woe is me, oh woe
And the birds sing no more

Without you I cannot be Without you
With you I am alone too Without you
Without you I count the hours without you
With you the seconds stand still

They aren't worth it without you.
