(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)
