Dein Anblick [English translation]

If I had a brush to draw your face

the brilliance of your eyes, your lovely mouth

I'd draw the eyelash, the brow and your smile

the way I saw it in this very hour

If I had a flute to play the tunes

that tell of your grace and beauty

I played the round of heavenly dances,

like in the thoughts that tortured me ever since

But neither pictures, nor sounds, nor words

could depict/describe what, at this place

happened with me when I saw you

in this particular night, you sparked the light in me

The sun, the stars bring news of you

every waft of air tells me of you

every breathe I take, every step I do

carries your name with it

(2x)

If I had the pen to write-the words

that surround you like a silvery light

I'd write of love, of closeness and of hope

and wrote the desire out to nothingness

But neither pictures, nor sounds, nor words

could depict/describe what, at this place

happened with me when I saw you

in this particular night, you sparked the light in me

The sun, the stars bring news of you

every waft of air tells me of you

every breathe I take, every step I do

carries your name with it
