Unsterblich [English translation]

Sacred, sacred

How long have I fought

for a word from you

that garlands me with your glow?

And now you stand before me.

My heart almost beats me to death and forces

me into the dust and earth.

And now a word that I can manage

before my heart breaks.

[Refrain]

In your eyes I see

the sky that promises so much.

You are sacred and alone.

I want to be immortal with you.

So I kneel before you, my heart,

far too faint before dying.

I beg you, take the one word

that your servant intended for you,

before he dies in lowliness to you,

for he has no hope

of being equal to you,

to the rank that raises him to God.

[Refrain]

In your eyes I see

the sky that promises so much.

You are sacred and alone.

I want to be immortal with you.

Sacred

[Refrain]

In your eyes I see

the sky that promises so much.

You are sacred and alone.

I want to be immortal with you.

In your eyes I see

the sky that promises so much.

If immortal I'd be alone.

Only you will be sacred.

If immortal I'd be alone.

Only you will be sacred.

Only you will be sacred.
