Zwischen Erde und Himmel? Nie ging einer über meinen Pfad. Aber dein Antlitz wärmt meine Welt, Von dir geht alles Blühen aus. Wenn du mich ansiehst, Wird mein Herz süß. Ich liege unter deinem Lächeln Und lerne Tag und Nacht bereiten, Dich hinzaubern und vergehen lassen, Immer spiele ich das eine Spiel.

Between earth and heaven? Never has one crossed my path. But your face warms my world, All that flourishes springs from you. When you look at me, My heart becomes sweet. Underneath your smile I lie And day and night learn to be ready, To conjure you up as to let you fade. The one game that I always play.
