They Were You - Kenneth Nelson feat. Rita Gardner translation in German

They Were You

When the moon was young,
When the month was May,
When the stage was hung for my holiday,
I saw shining lights
But I never knew:
They were you.
They were you.
They were you.

When the dance was done,
When I went my way,
When I tried to find rainbows far away,
All the lovely lights
Seemed to fade from view:
They were you.
They were you.
They were you.

Without you near me,
I can't see.
When you're near me,
Wonderful things come to be.

Every secret prayer,
Every fancy free,
Everything I dared for both you and me.
All my wildest dreams
Multiplied by two
They were you.
They were you.
They were you.

Das warst Du

Als der Mond jung war,
Als der Monat Mai war,
Als die Bühne für meinen Feiertag geschmückt war,
Sah ich leuchtende Lichter
Doch ich wusste nie:
Das warst du.
Das warst du.
Das warst du.

Als der Tanz vorbei war,
Als ich meinen Weg ging,
Als ich versuchte, Regenbögen in der Ferne zu finden,
All die schönen Lichter
Schienen aus dem Blick zu schwinden:
Das warst du.
Das warst du.
Das warst du.

Ohne dich in meiner Nähe,
Kann ich nicht sehen.
Wenn du bei mir bist,
Geschehen wunderbare Dinge.

Jedes geheime Gebet,
Jeder freie Wunsch,
Alles, was ich für uns beide wagte.
All meine wildesten Träume
Multipliziert mit zwei
Das warst du.
Das warst du.
Das warst du.
