Bis wir uns wiedersehen [English translation]

So much time has passed, I can hardly believe it.

Your photo just hangs there on the wall, gradually collecting dust.

I've reached a point, that anyone would find disturbing,

A point where one forgets even important things.

I'm so far from you, I can't make you out.

It's like opening a letter and finding a blank sheet of paper.

We're so far apart, yet you still hold on to me tightly.

I've missed you so, I couldn't miss my own eyes more.

Your young man sits here in his cell and he's so sad.

Each passing hour seems never to end.

I know that you're out there waiing, because you understand me, I'm your husband.

But, hey! Every night in my dreams, I'm watchng over you.

And you've been taking good care of me - which I really needed.

And even if the loneliness makes you cry,

It's all right. Nothing else is important.

I'm counting the hours till we're together again.

Meanwhile, my heart is yours.

I miss being next to you, when you awake in the morning.

I miss that warmth that you've always radiate.

Verse 2:

I can't express in words, how I feel when you're not with me.

I pray for strength when you're not there, that you'll not forget me.

These times are difficult, but dispite the distance between us,

We grow closer each day.

Still, I'm so lonely and I wish you were here.

Verse 3:

And so, today I'm facing the last hurdle.

I've long been unable to eat, I can't wait to see you.

They're letting me out and I'll see you soon.

After all these years I'm getting out,

And I have much to tell you.

I'm a man who'll again be able to embrace the world.

Given a little time, I'll be my old self again.

But I've been through a lot and I'll need your patience.

You give me your trust and at times lots of tears.

I have my ticket in hand and I'm ready for the flight.

I'm so sorry, but my intentions were always the best,

And I almost lost you, but I'll make that all good.

I admit my mistakes; being in jail has sobered me.

Wow! What a strong woman you are, with the heart of a lion.

Regardless of the danger or the pain,

You're ready to take on the world. (Watch out world!)

And, darling, for you, I'll stop the march of time,

Just like old paintings do.

I'm counting the hours till we're together again.

Meanwhile, my love's with you,

Reaching out over that great distance.

It will be with you where ever you most need it.

I'm counting the hours till we meet again.

Until then, I send you my love.

That love will reach you over any distance.

It will find you, where ever you need it.
