I thought I gave up,
 but my heart still wavers.
ظننتُني استسلمت، لكن لا زال قلبي يترنح
Ein verzagtes Herz,
das dennoch erbebt.
Creí que me rendí,
pero mi corazón todavía duda.
Creí que me rendí,
pero mi corazón todavía duda.
J’ai abandonné,
mais mon cœur hésite.
Pensavo di aver mollato, 
ma il mio cuore vacilla ancora.
Achei que tinha desistido,
mas meu coração ainda oscila.
Я сдалась, но на душе неспокойно.
