"Klavier" songtext

"Klavier"

Sie sagen zu mir: "Schließ auf diese Tür!"
Die Neugier wird zum Schrei, was wohl dahinter sei?
Hinter dieser Tür steht ein Klavier
Die Tasten sind staubig, die Saiten sind verstimmt
Hinter dieser Tür sitzt sie am Klavier
Doch sie spielt nicht mehr, ach, das ist so lang her

Dort am Klavier
Lauschte ich ihr
Und wenn ihr Spiel begann
Hielt ich den Atem an

Sie sagte zu mir: "Ich bleib' immer bei dir"
Doch es hatte nur den Schein, sie spielt für mich allein
Ich goss ihr Blut ins Feuer meiner Wut
Ich verschloss die Tür, man fragte nach ihr

Dort am Klavier
Lauschte ich ihr
Und wenn ihr Spiel begann
Hielt ich den Atem an
Dort am Klavier
Stand ich bei ihr
Es hatte den Schein
Sie spielt für mich allein

Geöffnet ist die Tür, ei, wie sie schreien
Ich höre die Mutter flehen, der Vater schlägt auf mich ein
Man löst sie vom Klavier und niemand glaubt mir hier
Dass ich todkrank von Kummer und Gestank

Dort am Klavier
Lauschte ich ihr
Und wenn ihr Spiel begann
Hielt ich den Atem an
Dort am Klavier
Lauschte sie mir
Und als mein Spiel begann
Hielt sie den Atem an

[English translation:]

They tell me, "Unlock this door"
Curiosity becomes a scream, what could be behind it?
Behind this door stands a piano
The keys are dusty, the strings are out of tune
Behind this door, she sits at the piano
But she doesn't play anymore, oh, that was so long ago

There, at the piano
I listened to her
And when her performance began
I held my breath

She said to me, "I'll always stay with you"
But it only seemed that she played for me alone
I poured her blood into the fire of my rage
I locked the door, they asked for her

There, at the piano
I listened to her
And when her performance began
I held my breath
There, at the piano
I stood beside her
It seemed
She played for me alone

The door is open, oh, how they scream
I hear mother pleading, father is beating me
They take her from the piano and no one believes me here
That I am deathly ill from sorrow and the stench

There, at the piano
I listened to her
And when her performance began
I held my breath
There, at the piano
She listened to me
And when my performance began
She held her breath
