Wenn ich tot bin [English translation]

When I'm dead...

I'll look down on you from out of the clouds*

When I'm dead...

I'll relieve your guardian angel every night

When I'm dead...

I'll tell in Heaven how much I love you

When I'm dead...

I'll be sorry I didn't stay with you

Oh, I don't know what I want

My life flows through the night like the rain

Oh, I don't know what I want

I am Ulysses on the seas

When I'm dead...

I'll sing a song every night only for you

When I'm dead...

I'll wait for you in Paradise

When I'm dead...

I'll know exactly that you are right for me

When I'm dead...

There'll be snow and rain when you forget me

Oh, I don't know what I want

My life flows through the night like the rain

Oh, I don't know what I want

I am Ulysses on the seas

Oh , I miss you so much

I fly to and fro between worlds

When I stay too long with you

I want to go elsewhere

And when elsewhereI only think of you

Oh, I don't know what I want

My life flows through the night like the rain

Oh, I don't know what I want

I am Ulysses on the seas

Oh, I miss you so much!

I fly to and fro between worlds

I fly to and fro between worlds
