Was Du mir bist?

What you are to me? The sight of land,

A stand of fruit-laden trees,

Flowers in bloom at the water's edge.

What you are to me? The sparkle of stars

that breaks through the cloud,

The distant ray of light that through the

darkness says:

Traveller, don't lose heart!

And even if my life was one of resignation,

Where no good fortune came my way,

What you are to me? Need you ask?

What you are to me: my faith in happiness.
