We will meet again in my paradise
And yet there are angels
And in our hearts you continue to live
One more summer
An other turn on the merry go round
I’ll come back as a little flower
I don’t want you to cry
In heaven I can sled

Wir treffen uns wieder in meinem Paradies
Und Engel gibt es doch
In unseren Herzen lebst du weiter
Einen Sommer noch
Noch eine Runde auf dem Karussell
Ich komm’ als Blümchen wieder
Ich will nicht, daß ihr weint
Im Himmel kann ich Schlitten fahren
Wolfgang Herrndorf
