Who in their lifetime does good on earth
Will become an engel after death
You look to heaven and you ask
Why one is unable to see them

If the clouds first go to sleep
Then one can see us in the heavens
We have fear and are alone
God knows I do not want to be an angel

They live behind the sunshine
Separated from us infintely
They have to hold on to the stars
(very firmly)
So that they do not fall from the sky

If the clouds first go to sleep
Then one can see us in the heavens
We have fear and are alone
God knows I do not want to be an angel
God knows I do not want to be an angel
God knows I do not want to be an angel

If the clouds first go to sleep
Then one can see us in the heavens
We have fear and are alone
God knows I do not want to be an angel

God knows I do not want to be an angel
God knows I do not want to be an angel
God knows I do not want to be an angel
God knows I do not want to be an angel

    although this is a correct lyric translation, i have to agree with gotterdam on this on, on the album booklet, it has the english on it, and it is quite different. but basicly this english version of Engel is quite good, keep up the good work!! from your friendly rammstein fan...jamie.
