Immer mehr [English translation]

She loves the icy breeze on winter days

Crystal sparks in the glistening light

The broad, free land, shod in rime

The ice on puddles, when it breaks with a crackle.

She loves to walk mute in her thoughts

And silently I go beside her

And it crosses my mind when I cast a glance at her

I love her - more and more!

She loves the plain word, the free speech

She loves the truth, and she says it out loud

She contradicts and leads no feuds

When everybody looks to the ground embarrassed.

And she can comfort, make one brave

Where does she take all the wise words from

The old fighting spirit newly kindled!

I love her - more and more!

Cavalier of brave attacks

Fighter for the just cause

Follower to the scaffold

Maker of magic potions.

She loves the mists that drift in from the sea

Like veils that a warm glow permeates

She loves walking along the edge of the waves

Hand full of mussels that she brings home with her

And she writes postcards from afar

And magically brings smells, spirit and pictures here.

Who gets those, he is loved by life!

I love her - more and more!

Cavalier of brave attacks

Fighter for the just cause

Follower to the scaffold

Maker of magic potions.

I believe that I know and suspect some

Of what she wishes and feels and thinks.

I know someone who waves the white flag

In life for me before my window

And who tells me: I will stay by your side

Even when the wind rolls and the weather heavily

Drives your tiny boat out into the Arctic see.

I love her - more and more!

More and more...
