Letra de Die taube (en inglés)

The Dove

You never knew your father
Your mother was like a dove
She flew from branch to branch -
Like Noah´s spy
In the midst of the floods of human activity
Always on the look out for safe land

Hold me - hold me -hold me oh so tight!

Thus strangers became enemies
How they reached out for the dove
And the dove let herself be caught

Hold me - hold me - hold me oh so tight!

With the suitcase standing in the door
A new town in the sunset
A new bed - a new motel

Hold me - hold me - hold me oh so tight!

She never spoke of your father
Only in this one night
As if through lips kissed sore
And with a look of horror on her face
She fell through the door and breathed;
Hold me tight!

That town was stranger -
That night louder than before

She was alone
Distraught in tears she hid her face from me
The stranger knocked and the enemy entered
I saw the outstretched hand
And the dove sick with fear
And I hit out and I hit out
And I hot out with all my strength
And I hit out at bones
And I hit through to the brain

The years have come and gone
I have not seen my mother
Since that night
A roof over my head -
A bed of my own
And I love my wife
And I kiss my son
For all the love
That now surronds me
I´ll never forget
The blood I shed
And the dying man
Who said to me
I am back my son
Hold me - hold me!
