Compass
How many lives
can you give,
can you give,
just so long as you don't lose it?
Are you happy,
with how it's going,
and what are you longing for?
What do you wish for, what else is happening?
Now close, now closer, now strange, but always there,
how wonderful the time was, and how also sometimes hard,
What was, which remains,
burns on,
we remain,
we remain,
In everything I do
you have guided me,
I hope I am giving you something back.
In everything I do,
I bring you with me,
like a compass, that I will never lose.
You gave your whole life,
to your values,
and everything that made you happy.
Don't be afraid,
think only of yourself now,
because a little bit of egoism would do you good,
I recognize myself more and more, more and more in you.
You recognize yourself more and more, more and more in me.
What was, which remains, burns on,
we remain, we remain.
In everything I do,
you have guided me.
I hope, I give you something back.
In everything I do,
I bring you with me,
like a compass,
that I will never lose,
will never lose.
Because without a root
we're carried by the wind,
because without a root
we're carried by the wind,
because without a root,
we're carried by the wind.
In everything I do
you have guided me,
I hope, I give you something back.
In everything I do,
I bring you with me,
like a compass,
that I will never lose.
In everything I do
you have guided me,
I hope, I give you something back.
In everything I do,
I bring you with me,
like a compass,
that I will never lose,
will never lose.

Toelichting van de vertaler:
I've been a bit less fastidious in keeping the exact wording of the song here, but I think it makes a bit more sense in English if we use slightly different phrasing to say the same things.
