Like a cloud of fairy floss*
That you want to stroke with your hand
Our joy because the smile
Doesn't vanish in the song for little Helen
When I listen in at dawn
To your breathing that is soft like a quilt
I feel that life means life
Together with the song for little Helen
Love, my love
I listen in to your breathing
Oh, my love
And I find the entire world
Oh, my love
The pillow caresses the fingers
And happiness has a fragrance
A fragrance of cherries
A stranger becomes stranger no more
Without someone it's suddenly like being without an arm
Boys turn into adults
When they hum the song for little Helen
When you miss like air
Someone with whom you can walk holding hands
Then with each step there's a better
Duet of love for little Helen
Love, my love
I listen in to your breathing
Oh, my love
And I find the entire world
Oh, my love
The pillow caresses the fingers
And happiness has a fragrance
A fragrance of cherries
Even though our veins are apart
My ties and your skirts
Suddenly became one
In the sugary heart for little Helen
Love finally became flesh
That wants to hold our hands
And that knows off by heart the entire
Sweet song for little Helen
For little Helen!
