stein um stein - english translation lyrics

I have a plan, a big plan

I'll build you a house

Every stone is a tear

and you will never move out

Yes, I'll build a little house for you

Has no windows, no door

Inside it is dark

And no light penetrates within



Yes, I'll make you a home

And there you shall spend all your time



Stone by stone, I build you in

Stone by stone

I will always be with you



Without clothes, without shoes

You watch me at my work

With feet in cement

you improve the appearance of the foundation

there will be a garden outside

And nobody hears you screaming



Stone by stone, I build you in

Stone by stone

I will always be with you



what a beating, what a hammering

Outdoors it catches in to dawn

All nails stand to attention

If I them in your body wood Ramming-



Stone by stone, I build you in

Stone by stone

And no one hears you scream
