Testo Stella Maris (English Version)

Testo Stella Maris (English Version)

I dream I'll meet you deep deep down
The deepest point on Earth, Mariana Trench, ocean bottom
Between Nanga Parbat, K2 and Everest
The crest of the world, there you'll be my banquet guest
Where nothing more can impede my vision
When you come I'll see you coming from the world's margin
Here there's nothing of interest
The ruins of Atlantis just
But of you not a trace
I don't think you're coming anymore

We missed eachother in our dreams

You dream me, I you
Don't worry, I won't wake you
Before you wake up yourself


Across the ice towards the North Pole is where I'll expect you
Will be standing on the axis
From Tierra del Fuego in hard dream labour to the pole
There everything will revolve just around us
The Pole Star directly above me
This is the pole I'll wait here
Only I cannot see you coming from anywhere for miles around
I'm waiting at the wrong pole

We missed eachother in our dreams

You dream me, I you
Don't worry, I won't wake you
Before you wake up yourself


Please, please don't wake me
Only as long as I dream do you exist...

Enlist in slumber on a ship
Course: Eldorado, Punt, that's your home
Wait on the coast, look on the horizon
Until I at last see your sails there
But the captain is always drunk
And mostly below deck
I can't steer this ship in my wildest dreams
On a rift it springs a leak
In the North Sea it then sunk
An iceberg drives me back

I think I'll be waiting for long
Punt stays undiscovered

We missed eachother in our dreams

You dream me, I you
Don't worry, I won't wake you
Before you wake up yourself
You dream me, I you
Don't worry, I won't wake you
Before you wake up yourself
Collared in a doze I'll grab you
And pull you towards me
For you dream me, I you
I dream you, you me
We dream eachother awake.
