Feuer Im Ewigen Eis [English translation]

She loved the man of another

And knew that it could never be

When the sun sank in the mountains

Then she was alone with her tears

Then heaven gave her a sign

As they tell it here in the village

She gave her love to the poor

The poor on the edge of this world

There burns a fire in eternal ice

That no one can extinguish

And a love that no one knows

Their whole life long

Just like a fire in eternal ice

Can a longing be

Even when her heart went through thorns

It was no place for sadness

Where a handful of rice is enough to live on

She had no time for tears

They brought the sick, the poor

And they felt the love inside her

In the convent of the white Madonna

No one stood lost at the door

“The woman with the kind eyes”

As they all called her

The woman with a broken heart

Who found something like peace there
