Vom Wesen der Liebe [English translation]

I've often been

In the country of magical beings,

Have often been in the mountains

At the Seven Dwarfs'.

Have been also at outer space

At the sun's spring-dance.

Beneath the sea I've been,

There I loved Neptune's son,

And everywhere

Reason was a sin.

And in a thousand long years

I finally got to know:

Love cannot think,

Love can only give away.

Here the journey now comes to an end,

Where I have to decide.

Don't want to stray any longer

In the world' turmoil.

I cease now my thinking,

Cause everywhere

Reason is a sin.

2x:

And in a thousand long years

I finally got to know:

Love cannot think,

Love can only give away.

Love cannot think.

But everywhere

Reason is a sin.
