Tausend Rosen [English translation]

The sunlight ornaments the angel's countenance

A thousand candles only for me

It is the greeting of the heart, the last kiss follows it

The funeral lament of the cradle, in which your beloved lies1

Only one flame goes out

when he says the words

Take a handful of soil

Let thousand of roses bloom

With your hand

Let thousand of roses bloom

Set me free

Eternally

The last march begins, attuned in grief

My look mesmerised by you, subservient to the words

It is the greeting of the autumn, the last kiss follows it

The funeral lament of the cradle that sways in the ground

Only one flame goes out

when he says the words

Take a handful of soil

Let thousand of roses bloom

With your hand

Let thousand of roses bloom

Set me free

Eternally

Let thousand of roses bloom

Set me free

Eternally

Let thousand of roses bloom

With your hand

Let thousand of roses bloom

Set me free

Eternally
