Blue Bayou [English translation]

The way I often go in my thoughts

leads along the river to the lake

and to you who is waiting

on the Blue Bayou

under trees is a house

it looks like a fairy tale

in it lives love and you

on the Blue Bayou

I begin again

whenever at the Blue Bayou

leaving you is leaving the world

behind me at the Blue Bayou *

with you I learn to see

each new day as a gift

I went home again

and since then time stood still for me

Once you said stay here

because otherwise I will certainly lose you

I live far away

and soon you will forget the Blue Bayou

that time courage failed me

I said to myself that's not good

But to-day I constantly dream

of the Blue Bayou

I begin again

whenever at the Blue Bayou

leaving you is leaving the world

behind me at the Blue Bayou

With you I learn to see

each new day as a gift

I went home again

and from then time stood still for me

And to-day I constantly dream

of the Blue Bayou...

* Literally:

Leave the world beside you

Behind me at the Blue Bayou
