I don't know why the rain
leaves its spot in the sky
I don't know why those heavy grey clouds are there
if they'll only intend to sleep above our land
I don't know why the wind
enjoys blowing on a bright morning
passing on the laughs of children
or the poor chimes in winter
I know nothing about that
But I know I still love you
I don't know why this city
opens its town-walls for me
to gently let me slide
underneath the rain of love
I don't know why these people
to celebrate my loss
to follow the funeral
have their noses stuck to the windows
I know nothing about that
But I know I still love you
I don't know why these streets
open one by one in front of me
empy and cold, cold and naked
Nothing but my steps, not even the moon
I don't know why the night
while playing me like a guitar
has forced me to come here
to cry in front of this station
I know nothing about that
But I know I still love you
I don't know when the train leaves
That sad train to Amsterdam
that a couple has to get this evening
A couple of which you are the lady
And I don't know at which gate
this massive ship for Amsterdam leaves
that breaks my heart and body
and our love and future
I know nothing about that
But I know I still love you
But I know I still love you
I'll translate:
