Wie ein Engel [English translation]

He looked like an angel

Loved danger,

Levitating above rails,

He was close to the sky

And they called him an angel

With an airstream (rushing) through his hair

When it was his turn to soar at the sky

Like an angel, like an angel - in the wind

He looked like an angel and fell from grace

Angels have a hang (of how to fly) to the sky

And they called him an angel

With an airstream (rushing) through his hair

When it was his turn to soar at the sky

Like an angel, like an angel - in the wind

And the train was standing still

And everyone could see

How his life passed by

Like an angel, like an angel

And they called him an angel

With an airstream (rushing) through his hair

When it was his turn to soar at the sky

Like an angel, like an angel - in the wind

Like an angel

Like an angel
