Condemned by the gods without her beautiful voice
Echo hides in the cave with her pain
The mute heart can only repeat
The last syllables it just heard
Narcissus, the proud one, oh God, how handsome he is!
The nymphs offer themselves before his disinterest

He walks in the forest with his melancholy
Nothing is enough, his soul is empty
Echo spies from afar and sighs love
How to confess without having her voice?
A clearing in the forest opens up for both
The pale nymph shows all her candor

Who are you, crazy girl?
(Crazy girl, crazy girl)
I'd rather die than give you a kiss
(Give you a kiss, give you a kiss)
I want to be alone by the river
(By the river, by the river)
You won't think that I love you
(I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you)

Narcissus receives punishment for being so cruel
The water was never so clear, nor the thirst so great
Seeing his reflection, he finally discovers love
And drowned in himself, he turns into a flower
Echo of sorrow and madness consumed
Only his beautiful voice kept resonating endlessly

Who are you, crazy girl?
(Crazy girl, crazy girl)
I'd rather die than give you a kiss
(Give you a kiss, give you a kiss)
I want to be alone by the river
(By the river, by the river)
You won't think that I love you
(I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you)

Now tell me, what the hell am I doing here?
Am I just your mirror or do you see me?
Am I allowed to do anything more than repeat
Every word you want to hear?
You touch the water, your nose sinks
The image is vain, the crying has no end

Who are you, crazy girl?
(Crazy girl, crazy girl)
With you I'll do whatever I want
(Whatever I want, whatever I want)
Don't you see how sad my life is?
(It's my life, it's my life)
You will carry my burden
(With my burden, with my burden)

Who are you, crazy girl?
(Crazy girl, crazy girl)
I'd rather die than give you a kiss
(Give you a kiss, give you a kiss)
I want to be alone by the river
(By the river, by the river)
You won't think that I love you
(I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you)
