Stella Maris [English translation]

I dream I'll meet you deep deep down

the deepest point on Earth, Mariana Trench, ocean bottom

Between Nanga Parbat, K2 and Everest,

the roof the world, there you'll be my banquet guest

Where nothing more can impede my vision

When you come I'll see you coming from the world's

margin

Here, there is nothing of interest,

just the ruins of Atlantis,

but not a trace of you.

I don't think anymore that you're coming.

We missed eachother in our dreams.

You dream me, I you

Don't worry, I won't wake you

before you wake up by yourself

Across the ice towards the North Pole is where I'll expect you

will be standing on the axis

From Tierra del Fuego in hard dream labour to the pole

there everything will revolve just around us.

The Pole Star right above me.

This is the pole I'll wait here.

Just,I cannot see you coming anywhere far and wide.

.

.

I'm waiting at the wrong pole

We missed eachother in our dreams

You dream me, I you

Don't worry, I won't wake you

Before you wake up by yourself

Please, please don't wake me

Only as long as I dream you exist...

We missed eachother in our dreams

You dream me, I you

Don't worry, I won't wake you

Before you wake up by yourself

Enlist in slumber on a ship

Bearing Eldorado, Punt, that's your hometown

Wait on the coast, search on the horizon

Until at last I see your sails there

But the captain is always drunk

and mostly below deck

I can't steer this ship in my wildest dreams

on a rift it springs a leak

In the North Sea it sank

an iceberg floats me away

I think I'll be waiting for long

Punt stays undiscovered

We missed eachother in our dreams

You dream me, I you

Don't worry, I won't wake you

Before you wake up by yourself

You dream me, I you

Don't worry, I'll finde you,

Collared in a doze I'll grab you

And pull you towards me

For you dream me, I you

I dream you, you me

We dream each other awake.
