ringo shiina lyrics & translation
Kimi o Aisu / I Love You
Utaite Myouri

Du mein Gedanke, du mein Sein und Werden!

Du meins Herzens erste Seligkeit!
Ich liebe dich, wie nichts auf dieser Erden,
Ich liebe dich in Zeit und Ewigkeit!

Ich denke dein, kann stets nur deiner denken,

Nur deinem Glück ist dieses Herz geweiht;
Wie Gott auch mag des Lebens Schicksal lenken,
Ich liebe dich in Zeit und Ewigkeit!
You are my thoughts, my being and what it will be

You are my heart’s first blessedness!
I love you, like nothing else on this earth,
I love you in time and eternity!

I think of you, can only ever think of you,

This heart is dedicated to your happiness only;
However God might direct life’s fate,
I love you in time and eternity!
