(Desert
mir war It was
als httest du as if you had
einen blick auf mich geworfen cast a glance at me
ich mich geduckt I had ducked
sag mir was das war tell me what that was
mir war it was
als hieltest du as if you held
in den armen mich me in your arms
und tausend disteln and a thousand thistles
sag mir was das war tell me what that was
mene, mene tekel, upharsin mene, mene tekel, upharsin)
