My love
My lover
My lover, you, my love for you
My love for you is no more or less
Than your love for me was
When your love was for me
There was beauty, now it's gone
There was heat, and now there's none
All the clocks are standing still
Laughing is all wrong, and before long
I seek sight beyond the light
Where are you, where are you
Oh I won't survive alone
Where are you, where are you
There was beauty, now it's gone
There was heat, now there's none
All the clocks stand still
Laughing is all wrong, and before long
I seek some sight beyond the light
Where are you, where are you
Oh I won't survive alone
Where are you, where are you
I'm looking under every stone
Where are you, where are you
I sleep with my knife prone
Where are you...
[lyrics][discuss]
It still bugs me that English doesn't allow for the slick opening in the German lyrics, but I've done my best :(

LILT: Wo Bist Du 1.3
My love
My lover
My lover you, my love for you
My love for you is no more or less
Than your love for me was
When your love was for me
There was beauty, now it's gone
There was heat, and now there's none
All the clocks stand still
Laughing is all wrong, and before long
I seek sight beyond the light
Where are you, where are you
Oh I won't survive alone
Where are you, where are you
There was beauty, now it's gone
There was heat, now there's none
All the clocks stand still
Laughing is all wrong, and before long
I seek some sight beyond the light
Where are you, where are you
Oh I won't survive alone
Where are you, where are you
I'm looking under every stone
Where are you, where are you
I sleep with my knife prone
Where are you...

My lover you, my love for you
My love for you is no more or less
Than your love for me was
When your love was for me
There was beauty, now it's gone
There was heat, and now there's none

Where are you, where are you
On my own, I'm so alone
Where are you, where are you
There was beauty, now it's gone
There was heat, now there's none
All the clocks stand still

Where are you, where are you
I'm looking under every stone
Where are you, where are you

I'm never going to really nail the opening, but I think the rest is improving one bit at a time.

That opening is still very clumsy compared to the German, but it's probably the best I'm going to pull off, given I'm working in English.

My love
My love for
My love for you
My love for you is no more or less
Than your love for me was
When your love was for me
There was beauty, now it's gone
There was heat, and now there's none
The clocks all stand still
Laughing is all wrong, and before long
I send sight beyond the light
Where are you
I'm alone, I'm so alone
Where are you
There was beauty, now it's gone
There was heat, and now there's none
The clocks all stand still
Laughing is all wrong, and before long
I send sight beyond the light
Where are you
I'm alone, I'm so alone
Where are you
I'm looking under every stone
Where are you
I fall asleep, knife prone
Where are you

There is no really elegant way to adapt the opening words of this song to English. German builds sentences in a much more structured way than English, and word order is critical to this song. I've done the best I could with an arse-backwards language, as in this case I didn't want to parrot back Till's German where the English didn't work quite right.
