So laang we's du do bast

As long as you are there

So laang we's du do bast, so laang's du mir no bast As long as you are there, as long as you are near me
So laang wéi méng Aen, dëch nëmmen gesin As long as my eyes only see you
So laang we's du hei bast, so léiw an so trei bast As long as you are here, being lovely and faithful
So laang kann fir mëch ët näischt Schéineres gin So long it can't be anything more beautiful to me
  
Kuck all méng Gedanken, si wanken, si schwanken Look at all my thoughts, they're swaying, they're staggering
Si sin stéits bei dir, an ech kann nët dofir They will be with you always and I can't help it
So laang we's du do bast, so laang's du mir no bast As long as you are there, as long as you are near me
So laang kann fir mëch ët näischt Schéineres gin So long it can't be anything more beautiful to me
  
Wann's de heino och fort gees, fir ëmmer no Nord gees Even if you will go away then, going to the north forever
Dann solls du nët mierken méng heemelëch Träin You won't notice my secret tears
An wann's du géif's froën, dann misst ech gestoën And if you asked me, then I would have to admit
So laang we's du do worst, so laang wor ët schéin As long as you were there, so long everything was fine
  
Et as so am Liewen: 't geet monsches doniewen That's the way life is: some things will go wrong
All Stonnen déi schéin, vill ze séier verbléin Times of happiness pass by much too fast
Wann's du dann no Nord gees, gleew mir, wann's de och fort gees When you will go to the north then, believe me, even when you will go away
So laang we's du do bast, so laang wor ët schéin As long as you are there, so long everything was fine
