Teil von mir [English translation]

I’m keeping you close in my thoughts

I won’t let them out of my mind

‘cause your image always grows fainter,

but I still feel you

I’m locking you up in my thoughts,

every word, every deed

Hold you tight like a flower,

which doesn't want to wilt

[Refrain:]

Your image never fades,

I’m always carrying it with me

Even if it loses color over the years,

you’ll always be

a part of me

I’m keeping you close in my thoughts

I’m keeping you in my memory

I’ll never forget how you looked to the sky,

you were so completely proud

and your heart was made of gold

[Refrain:]

Your image never fades,

I’m always carrying it with me

Even if it loses color over the years,

you’ll always be

a part of me

I’ll never get you out of my mind ¹

until the end of my days

It’s like you’re burned into it

‘cause I can’t and don’t want to forget you

Your image stays a part of me

[Refrain:]

Your image never fades,

I’m always carrying it with me

Even if it loses color over the years,

you’ll always be

a part of me
