Unten am Fluß, der Ohio heißt [English translation]

He said, 'My heart's yours'

And I wrote it in my heart

Like an arrow that shows me the way

Down by the river called Ohio

The summer came, he stayed with me

And the moon sang at our door

Sang a song that rips the night

Down by the river called Ohio

The summer shook hands with autumn

When I found him in another's arms

I did not wish for what came after

My heart broke and I reached for the Colt

He said, 'My heart's yours'

And I wrote it in my heart

Like an arrow that shows me the way

Down by the river called Ohio

I wandered around this world

Slept under the stars at night

Because my heart has long since been deserted

Down by the river called Ohio

The story here is a long time ago

Nobody else knows her except me

Just a song that rips the night

Down by the river called Ohio

Down by the river called Ohio
