Der Flieger [English translation]

I've never been so high

Over life, free without boundaries

I only follow my own command

Deep under me, the morning floats by

I'll pull my path 1over you

Defying all danger

Always higher and unconquerable

I'll fly into the sun for you

I'll burn just for you

I'll soar up to the stars for you

I'll hurl myself into the light

Tell me why you don't see me

Will our dream ever come true?

Your last glance leads me on my way

Thence where no one was ahead of me

I'll send a greeting back to Earth

I'll pull my path over you

Defying all danger

Always higher and unconquerable

I'll fly into the sun for you

I'll burn just for you

I'll soar up to the stars for you

I'll hurl myself into the light

Tell me why you don't see me

Why don't you see me?

I have tried everything

Have not reached you yet

Always higher for you

Even if nothing will be left for me

I'll soar up to the stars for you

I'll hurl myself into the light

I'll fly into the sun for you

I'll burn just for you

I'll soar up to the stars for you

I'll hurl myself into the light

Tell me why you don't see me
