1st Verse:
You, you, you live inside me;
here, down deep in my heart;
love, love; please don’t deny me.
It hurts when we are apart.
Oh love; my love, you’re always here in my heart.
2nd Verse:
My heart burns with desire
each time I see your face.
Each kiss builds the flames higher;
kiss me and make my heart blaze.
Oh love; my love, you’re always here in my heart.
3rd Verse:
I would never deceive you;
my heart’s faithful to you.
Please say I can believe you;
that you will always be true.
Oh love; my love, you’re always here in my heart.
4th Verse: *
This great distance between us
puts an ache in my heart.
Each night I pray to Venus
that we were not far apart.
Oh love; my love, you’re always here in my heart.

(*All the verses of this song are similar in meaning to the original German words except for the fourth verse just because I couldn’t understand the fourth verse of the original song at all)
