So bist du English translation
von Peter Maffay

You give everything when you give
You lose yourself when you love
Young girl, mature woman but still a child
That's what you are, you, only you

When you touch my hand
And I feel your warmth
Then I know everything will be fine
Whatever may happen
That's what you are, you, only you

When I go, only a part of me goes
And when you go, your warmth will remain here
And when I weep, only a part of me weeps
And the other one laughs with you


You often ask much of me
But I feel the power of you
And I know, you don't ask for more than you give
That's what you are, you, only you

You always say what you think
And the love you give to me
Is so tender and so good and so deep
Like you, you, only you

And when I go, only a part of me goes
And when you go, your warmth will remain here
And when I sleep, only a part of me sleeps
And the other one dreams with you

And when I die, only a part of me dies
And when you die, your love will remain here
And when I weep, only a part of me weeps
And the other one laughs with you
