Offene Arme [English translation]

There was a time when you were my only friend

You were there for me, have shared every pain with me

And now you stand here in front of my door

And I see that something is wrong with you

Hey, come, I'm there for you

Like you were so often there for me

I've never forgotten the open arms

With which you always welcomed me

When I was once again down and needed you

Your open arms have encompassed me

And I have already back then promised you

Whatever the future has in stores for us

When you once need me in your life

My arms should always be open

As long as I am there, you're not alone

My heart will always be open for you

When you're once without hope

Then don't hesitate

And fall into my arms

There was a time where you were stronger than me

And when I was missing something then you were my rescue

And now that you don't know how to go on anymore

A storm tearing your sails to rags

Then you can be absolutely sure

Now I am there for you
