Ein Kreuz und eine Rose [English translation]

Deep in his grief, he's just sitting there,

Talking only about her, how beautiful she was

He's looking at me out of deep sunken non-seeing eyes

And then I see these signs burned in his arm

Refrain:

A Cross and a Rose

The signs of our happiness

Feelings of the last moment perpetuated

And the Cross signifies Love

And the Rose, was she

Burned in my skin so as never to forget her

He talks about this longing for his home

Unsatisfied urge to travel drove him out

To the end of my life I will regret,

I don't forgive myself for going forth then

[Refrain]

How often has he tried to solve it

How often has he cursed this urge to travel

And a few tears drop down on his tattoo

[Refrain]

Burned in my skin so as never to forget her
