Lyrics
Arie – Verse 1
Dein Lächeln trägt das Licht der Sterne,
Es bricht die Nacht, es trägt mich fort.
Nur dein Herz, nur deine Hände,
Sie sind mein Himmel, mein einziges Wort.
Chorus – Dramatisch
Untrennbar! Untrennbar!
Kein Schicksal reißt uns auseinander.
Untrennbar! Untrennbar!
Für ewig bist du mein, mein Leben, mein Feuer!
Arie – Verse 2
Deine Tränen – süß wie Hoffnung,
Sie werden Traum im Sturm der Zeit.
Durch die Schatten, durch das Feuer,
Ruft mein Herz: „Für dich – für Ewigkeit!“
Bridge – Rezitativ/Steigerung
Auch wenn die Welt in Flammen vergeht,
Auch wenn die Zeit in Asche verweht,
Ich rufe deinen Namen – laut,
bis Himmel und Erde zerbricht!
Final Chorus – Tutti, Orchester Voll
Untrennbar! Untrennbar!
Unsere Liebe bleibt für immer.
Untrennbar! Untrennbar!
Niemals getrennt – für Ewigkeit, für Ewigkeit!
--- English Lyrics ---
Aria – Verse 1
Your smile bears the light of stars,
It breaks the night, it carries me afar.
Only your heart, only your hands,
They are my heaven, my single command.
Chorus – Dramatic
Untrennbar! Untangled, yet bound!
No fate shall tear our souls apart.
Untrennbar! Eternal and profound,
You are my life, my fire, my heart!
Aria – Verse 2
Your tears are sweet as a promise of dawn,
They turn to dreams when the storm is gone.
Through the shadows, through the fire,
My soul cries out: “For you, forever higher!”
Bridge – Recitative / Rising Tension
Even if the world should burn to dust,
Even if all of time betrays its trust,
I will call your name aloud,
Till heaven and earth collapse in sound!
Final Chorus – Full Choir + Orchestra
Untrennbar! Untangled, yet bound!
Our love shall never fade, nor sever.
Untrennbar! Forever crowned,
Together as one — for ever, for ever!
