Bevor Du Gehst
Xavier Naidoo
Before You Go
Look into my eyes one more time
Baby, before you go
I will only believe it
when you're no longer standing in front of me
Now the time has come
you will never return
Believe me, many are very sorry
all those who adore you
your chains are welded
no one will see you again
Now that you're traveling forever
I will go to you one last time
Look into my eyes one more time
Baby, before you go
I will only believe it
when you're no longer standing in front of me
You had to expect this
not only I sensed it
Because you did not pave
a path corresponding to your actions
How everyone believed in you
everyone flocked to you
Those who robbed so many
shared their greed with you
Lord, let me also argue with those
who prophesied their eternal glory
for they lied and fantasized
for those who ruled the world with them
Look into my eyes one more time
Baby, before you go
I will only believe it
when you're no longer standing in front of me
Soon no one will stand up for you
you are alone day and night
there can only be little,
very little life left in you
the sellers and buyers of your goods
look at them
because now they are fleeing in droves
they are deprived of their clear minds
because they believed so firmly in you
with the certainty of death
Look into my eyes one more time
Baby, before you go
I will only believe it
when you're no longer standing in front of me
