Nicht nur wenn unsre Pfade sich vereinen,
  Bin ich bei Dir -
Auch wenn [die Hand]1 nicht ruhet in [der]2 Deinen,
  Bin ich bei Dir.

Es geht ein leis geheimnisvolles Grüßen
  Von mir zu Dir,
Daß Wind und Wolken Boten werden müssen
  Von mir zu Dir.

Not only when we share a path
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
Not only when we share a path
  Am I with you --
Even when my hand does not rest on yours,
  I am with you.

A soft mysterious greeting 
  Travels from me to you;
The wind and clouds must become messengers
  From me to you.
