Ich hab von dir geträumt [English translation]

I dreamt of you

You held my hand

And when I woke up

My hand was burned

The fire eats up my time

It burns day and night

It takes what I ever wanted

And also what I ever done

The fire eats up my heart

It eats me neck and crop

It takes what I wished for

And also what I have been

But without this fire

I already would have been tired and empty

My days would be tiresome and gray

And my nights would be cold

The fire keeps me awake too,

Against coldness, ice and death,

It twinkels in the Southern Cross

And blazes in the dawn
