Mein Herz erkennt dich immer [English translation]

Where are you, love?

I can't see you

But I still feel you near me

going through the high grass

When the flowers sway

Every stem gently slants

when in the morning, the mist*

raises from Koselbruch**

You enchanted me with your singing

So heavy was the jar

and so light was your stride

Your voice, so clear and as strong as a river

I can't escape its flow

because I have to follow you

Come to me as a raven

Come to me in the wind

come to me as a wolf

so that we are together again

come to me in a dream

come to me in the forest

My heart recognises you forever

and in every form

I rush to you

raise up skyward

So strong is your voice

So loud your heart calls

But beware my love,

I was chosen

The master shouldn't know

or else I'm doomed

Come lay next to me

In the green morning dew

Look in my eyes

the clouds move away

And I wish we could move with them

to where no one could follow

Where we could never be found

And we're eventually free

And nothing can separate us,

no danger that threatens us,

no betrayal, no evil spell,

not the devil, not death

When you recognise nothing

When you can see no one

My heart recognises you forever

For better or for worse
