Translation of the song Er artist Milva

Er

Him

Das war er

That was him

Ich bin mir ganz sicher

I am sure

So was spürt man doch als Frau

You can feel something like this as a woman

Er

Him

Das war er

That was him

Ob er mich erkannt hat, weiß ich wirklich nicht genau

If he recognized me, I really don't know for sure

Er

Him

Ich weiß nur, einmal mochte ich ihn sehr

I just know, I once liked him a lot

Er lief mir Anfangs sogar hinterher

He even followed me at the beginning

Er

Him

Das war er

That was him

Hochgezog'ne Schultern

Raised shoulders

Ein verschlossenes Gesicht

A reserved face

Er

Him

Das war er

That was him

Erst wollt' ich noch rufen,

At first I wanted to call out

Doch dann traute ich mich nicht

But then I didn't have the courage

Er

Him

Die Zeit mit ihm ist schon so lange her

The times with him were long ago

Ob er für mich das Glück gewesen wär'?

Would he have been my happiness?

Er

Him

Er

Him

Das war er

That was him

Der, von dem ich glaubte,

He, of whom I though,

Dass mich keine Schwäche stört

That none of his weaknesses would bother me

Er

Him

Das war er

That was him

Der, dem ich vertraute

He, who I trusted

Dass er mir allein gehört

That he was all mine

Er

Him

Er machte mir das Leben ziemlich schwer

He was making life quite hard for me

Dann sagte er zu mir: Ich will nicht mehr

Then he told me: I don't want anymore

Er

Him

Er

Him

Er

Him
