I watch the sun rise on another journey
Away from you, away from you
And when the moon paints midnight streams before me
I’ll think of you, I’ll think of you.
Ich denke dein, wenn mir der Sonne Schimmer
Vom Meere strahlt, vom Meere strahlt;
Ich denke dein, wenn sich des Mondes Flimmer
In Quellen malt, in Quellen malt.
And I see you on every road I travel
On the laughing street, and down the lonely mile,
Through the darkest nights of all my winding journeys
I see your smile; I see your smile.
Ich sehe dich, wenn auf den fernen Wege,
Der Staub sich hebt, der Staub sich hebt;
In tiefe Nacht, wenn auf dem schmalen Stege
Der Wandrer bebt, der Wandrer bebt.
I hear your voice from the rustling leaves of morning
Til the winds of evening knock my window pane
And in the silence of the deepest forest
I hear your name, I hear your name.
Ich höre dich, wenn dort mit dumpfem Rauschen
Die Welle steigt, die Welle steigt.
Im stillen Haine geh ich oft zu lauschen,
Wenn alles schweigt, wenn alles schweigt.
You’re by my side, though distance stands between us
I know you’re near, I know you’re near
The sun goes down, but the stars will walk beside us
Til you are here, til you are here.
Ich bin bei dir, du seist auch noch so ferne,
Du bist mir nah, Du bist mir nah.
Die Sonne sinkt, bald leuchten mir die Sterne.
O wärst du da, o wärst du da.
