Himmel und Erde [English translation]

The Prince and Princess were so in love

But they only came together

While the stepfather was sleeping

Then they gave the old man a drink of deadly nightshade

Now they can love each other

For 2000 hours

Now they can love each other

For 2000 years

Ivory and ebony loved each other

They did not come together

The river was too deep

They built a bridge and never looked back

And if they haven't died

They're still alive today

And if they haven't died

They're still alive today

Heaven and earth loved each other so much

But they did not come together

And the times were hard

There were two people

They met four people

They met eight people

They met 16 people

Met 32 people

And they liked each other

And they built a ladder

Wanted to reach the stars

In the end there were more than 100,000 people

And if we haven't died

We're still alive today

And if we haven't died

We're still alive today
