Auf dein Wohl [English translation]

I have a bed for you

Built of flowers

Nice as the day

And fresh as the dew

My heart opened

When I saw you there

In the sea of flowers

That was only ours

Have it maintained

With love

And when you are sleeping

I kept lonely vigil

Protected you

Grief and sorrow

In the starlight

That was our time

On your well-being

My darling so beautiful

My heart weighs, oh, so hard

On your well-being

My darling so beautiful

But I'm drawn to the distance

To far over the sea

But the time passed

Not without a trace

What we shared

Broke quietly in half

Where was the spirit

Who gave us wings

As only a bed

From straw remained for us

The first snow

Now the sheets are covered

The autumn wind is sweeping

About a cold bed

Often I ask myself

As years go by

Will it ever be again?

Ever blossom again

On your well-being

My darling so beautiful

My heart weighs, oh, so hard

On your well-being

My darling so beautiful

But I'm drawn to the distance

To far over the sea

My darling so beautiful

My heart weighs, oh, so hard

On your well-being

My darling so beautiful

I'm drawn into the distance

My darling so beautiful

My darling so beautiful

My darling so beautiful

So beautiful

My darling so beautiful

So beautiful

On your well-being

My darling so beautiful

My heart weighs, oh, so hard

On your well-being

My darling so beautiful

But I'm drawn to the distance

That's why I drink for your well-being

My darling so beautiful

Fly further over the sea

Farewell

My darling so beautiful

I'm drawn into the distance

And yet you miss me a lot
