Ein Stern, der deinen Namen trägt [English translation]

I've been living with you for years

And I thank God for

Giving you to me.

As a memento to our life

I'd like to give you something today -

A present for all eternity:

A Star Bearing Your Name

High up Heaven's canopy

I am presenting to you tonight

A Star Bearing Your Name

That will survive all Time

And will keep watch over our love

At some time it will pass away

And there will be a place for us in heaven

But your star will be staying up there for ever and ever*

And will bear your name

Even after a thousand years

And will be for ever the fairest of them all

A Star Bearing Your Name

High up Heaven's canopy

I am presenting to you tonight

A Star Bearing Your Name

That will survive all Time

And will keep watch over our love
