+Manhal Albasry ...I agree. Unfortunately, I don't speak German, the original German recording of this song sounds beautiful even without the English translation. I have been listening to this song for the past 10 years without knowing the English translation; and I have felt its meaning. Now I know the translation it means even more to me, but I still prefer the German recording. A great and and beautiful song.
I've got this album in original German absolutely luv this song is great in English but gotta say the German version is more meaningful mehr Gefühl. Fantastic singer.
jetzt mal ehrlich der deutsche text ist viel geiler...das englische ist allgemein einfacher als das deutsche...schon allein vom satzbau und der varietät her..was es auch schwerer macht, so finde ich, gute lyrics zu schreiben und es auch noch schön klingen zu lassen...einen meister darin wie grönemeyer findet man selten...diese version ist nicht schlecht haut mich aber nicht um um...
Herbert had to cut some corners to fill the melody with his limited english vocabulary, it's sad because the original has absolutely stunning lyrics.. but still a great song. :)
