Lyrics:

Still leaning on the night of insomnia, looking at the starry nights in the sky

Still hear the violin teasing me with its sobbing

Why is the moon only left in the sky? I'm left with a moon in the sky

After this night there's no news

A person like the moon in the sky can't be had

Love is like a song that's left behind and can't be saved

Why is it just a disappointment that fills my emptiness

No kiss goodbye this night

Still talking about forever I can't imagine that it's an excuse

Never thought of parting ways

But my heart is still possessed by her every moment

She's like the moon, still she doesn't speak

The fiddle plays a solo, the moon is half-aligned with the late fall

My ties, my longing, until the future

Still leaning on sleepless nights, looking up at the stars in the sky

Still listening to the fiddle, sobbing, teasing

Why is there only one moon left in the sky? I'm left with a moon in the sky

After this night there's no news

A person like the moon in the sky can't be had

Love is like a song that's been played but only left behind

Why is it only a disappointment that fills my emptiness

No kiss goodbye this night

Still talking about permanence I can't imagine that it's an excuse

Never thought of a breakup

But my heart is still possessed by her every minute

She's like the moon, still she doesn't speak

The fiddle solo plays the moon halfway through the fall

My attachment, my longing, until later

Still saying forever I can't imagine that it's an excuse

Never meant to part

But my heart is still possessed by her every minute

But she is still possessed by her every minute.

She's like the moon, still she doesn't speak

The fiddle plays a solo, the moon half leaning on the fall

My attachment, my longing, until later

I'm still talking about forever.
