Schicksal der Liebe
Language:
German
Wir sind zwei Rosen,
darüber der Sturm fuhr
und sie abriß.
Gemeinsam
wirbeln sie nun
den Weg entlang,
und ihre Blätter wehn
durcheinander.
Heimatlose,
tanzen und fliehn sie,
nur für einander
duftend und leuchtend,
den Weg der Liebe -:
Bis sie am Abend
der große Feger
lächelnd
auf seine Schaufel nimmt.

The Destiny of Love
Language:
English
Two roses
torn up
by the passing storm
now whirl
together
along the way,
their petals tossed about
in the breeze.
Without a home,
they dance
along the path of love,
shining only
for each other...
Until the evening
when the great
smiling street sweeper
whisks them up into his dustpan.
