Thomas D – Liebesbrief Lyrics 19 years ago
It's bound to have lots of silly mistakes, and 2 lines are skipped (I'm neighter a German nor English native speaker) but since there seems to be no other translation around, it's better than nothing ;)

LOVE LETTER

Because all those who love, are children at heart
And because those who are driven by their pure hearts are our greatest heroes
I’ll save the world with your love inside me
Because I am for you
No, I’m here thanks to you
It’s because you are still able to love
and because the ability to forgive is a part of your life
that I was awakened and what sleeps deep inside of me
is leading the quill now and is writing this love letter to you

I fell headlong into the water
Something pulled me under the surface
And I would have drowned
If I hadn’t found you
I was on the ground, all ruined
as it usually happens
but you brought me back to life
Now I’m hungry for life
Feed me with experience
Your every word is my food
And I am feeding you
As if I was indispensable to you
You’re looking at me
And I can’t honestly
promise you anything
because it would be a deceit
But you’re saying with a smile
that what’s now and here is enough for you
You are the sand in the gears
of the thinking machine
And I’m taking you for a night flight

Because all those who…

Put your arms around me
so that the scar
that I’m wearing here, on my heart
doesn’t hurt me anymore
When you ask
“Why do I have to win for you?”
I answer
“[????] like me sometimes prefer to stay inside”
And when one of us
disappears [????] once again
the love will be like barking at the moon
and it will bring us together
What (s)he knows about me
is that you’re no longer here
And to prove that
my sweat still has the smell of you
Still, of you
And you seem so far away from me
Millions of miles away from me
And I’m writing on the paper
millions of verses about you

Because all those who…

Because all those who…

And I often wear my heart on my sleeve
so that anyone can see it
And I can only hope
that you’ll read this song
like an opened letter
That all the others will understand
that we can see ourselves in one another’s eyes

Because all those who…
