L'Âme Immortelle - Nur Du

I posted the last post as an exception, planning to restrict the blog to songs in German. After the positive feedback, though, I think I will post more songs by German bands that are sung in English. This will open up possibilities for more bands' songs to be featured here, since many bands choose to sing in English in an attempt to make their music more popular in other countries. You'll be able to find the songs in English easily by clicking on the "English" tag in the side bar. This post, however, is a German song, not an English one, although the band occasionally sings in English as well.

Don't be confused by their name; L'Âme Immortelle is an Austrian, not French band. For those of you who don't speak French, their name means "The Immortal Soul." Most of the band's songs are tragic love stories. I had a difficult time choosing which of their videos to post. I think that "5 Jahre," "Dein Herz," "Fallen Angel," and "Stumme Schreie" are their best songs, and they have good videos too, but "Nur Du" has one of the cutest music videos that I've ever seen. It's not at all like their usual visual style (or really even their musical style), but I like it and its story a lot. Enjoy!





Lyrics Translations:

You have reignited
A fire in my heart
You have turned the night in me
To day

You have also brought radiance
Back into my eyes
And with your warmth
Have finally brought me home

I have never since seen anything
As beautiful as you
I have never since felt anything
As good as you

You were always my sunshine
In dark hours
You were strong when I couldn't be
Full of confidence

Your unfaltering character
Helped me understand myself
But you remained hidden to me
I couldn't see you

I have never since seen anything
As beautiful as you
I have never since felt anything
As good as you

I have never since seen anything
As beautiful as you
I have never since felt anything
As good as you

You locked yourself up in yourself
To get away from all your sorrows
All your suffering and your pain
Remained hidden from me

I still couldn't climb over
The walls of your soul
I couldn't find any keys
To the gates that I found

I have never since seen anything
As beautiful as you
I have never since felt anything
As good as you

I have never since seen anything
As beautiful as you
I have never since felt anything
As good as you

I have never before lost anything
As valuable as you
I will never be able to love again
For my only love is you

I have never since seen anything
As beautiful as you
I have never since felt anything
As good as you
