..., dass du bleibst [English translation]

Just a few words on white paper

is all you have written me, are they really from you?

I see you laughing, that fits you so well

sky-high cheering and feeling deep grief

feeling deep grief, stay here-stay

Even if your path leads in another direction,

You have to follow it, just please not too far

And I want you to stay just the way you are1

You're important here, don't forget:

Only one thing is important, that you stay

It only takes a few hours to change the world

And that you're still here, that's all that counts

You don't have to prove anything, you don't have to explain

What ever your heart says,

It's born for life, born for life

Even if your path leads in another direction,

You have to follow it, just please not too far

And just as you, I don't want to lose you

You're important here, don't forget:

Only one thing is important, that you stay

1. literally, "just as you are, I don't want to lose you." I think my translation captures the meaning a bit better though
