Licht und Schatten [English translation]

Light:

You saw so many miracles here

Learned love and also affection

Still so much life unfolds in you

Still so much beauty, so much time

I climbed up to the highest throne

I also fell into the deepest night

But nothing dampens the miracles

that love had accomplished

Shadow:

The fate you intended is cruel

Death and sorrow were your companions

Time only brings more pain

It is over, goes no further

I climbed up to the highest throne

I also fell into the deepest night

But nothing dampens the miracles

that love had accomplished

Light:

Life is a chiaroscuro1

Just like the day, the night

After every death, every pain

Then miracles are accomplished

Shadow:

Life is a chiaroscuro

Just like the day, the night

But your pain lasted forever2

Then death answered your lamentation

I climbed up to the highest throne

I also fell into the deepest night

But nothing dampens the miracles

that love had accomplished

No matter living or dead3

She is always with me

And if the entire world suffers as well

We live, we love

For evermore

1. In the sense of the fourth definition here.2. The correct lyrics here are "Doch dein Leiden währet ewig"3. I'm almost certain the correct text here is "tot" instead of "Tod"
