Here I stand in Bressanone
with the stars up in the sky
Are they shining over Brenner
and upon the other side

You would be a sweet surrender,
I must go the other way
And my train will carry me onward
though my heart would surely stay

Wo, my heart would surely stay

Now the clouds are flying by me,
and the moon is on the rise
I have left the stars behind me,
they were diamonds in your skies

You would be a sweet surrender,
I must go the other way
And my train will carry me onward
though my heart would surely stay

Wo, my heart would surely stay
