Glück Auf Erden Lyrics in English by In Extremo

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Glück Auf Erden by In Extremo from German to English.
Wo zwei Menschen innig lieben
Where two people love deeply
Fällt die Saat auf satten Boden
The seed falls on rich soil
Will es in den Armen wiegen
I want to cradle it in my arms
Nicht nur sein Wachsen loben
Not just praise its growth
Ich hielt mich stets und weise
I always acted wisely
Hab es einfach nicht gewusst
I simply didn't know it
Fürs Leben brauchst du beide Gleise
For life, you need both tracks
Vaters Kraft und Mutters Brust
Father's strength and Mother's breast
Gib die Hoffnung niemals auf
Never give up hope
Es wird schon werden
It'll be fine
Die Dinge nehmen ihren Lauf
Things take their course
Es wird schon werden
It'll be fine
Du bist mein Glück auf Erden
You are my happiness on Earth
Für dich kämpf ich wie ein Tier
For you, I fight like an animal
Du alleine sollst es erben
You alone shall inherit it
Darum gehe ich vor dir
That's why I go before you
Als mich die inneren Stimmen riefen
When the inner voices called me
Wird mir unter Tränen klar
It becomes clear to me through tears
Lausch den Sinnen, die Jahrzehnte schliefen
Listen to the senses that slept for decades
Meine Lippen küssen dein Haar
My lips kiss your hair
Wenn der Blick zu Klarheit reift
When the gaze matures into clarity
Die kleine Hand meine Finger greift
The small hand grasps my fingers
Mit dir daran gedeihen
To thrive with you
Kann dir jetzt schon alles verzeihen
I can already forgive you everything
Einfach nur dich anzusehen
Simply just to look at you
Statt mein Leben rückwärts drehen
Instead of turning my life backwards
Macht es leicht vor dir zu gehen
Makes it easy to go before you
Dich will ich nicht sterben sehen
I don't want to see you die
Gib die Hoffnung niemals auf
Never give up hope
Es wird schon werden
It'll be fine
Die Dinge nehmen ihren Lauf
Things take their course
Es wird schon werden
It'll be fine
Du bist mein Glück auf Erden
You are my happiness on Earth
Für dich kämpf ich wie ein Tier
For you, I fight like an animal
Du alleine sollst es erben
You alone shall inherit it
Darum gehe ich vor dir
That's why I go before you

gedeih'n — thrive

Gedeih'n is a contracted form of gedeihen, which means 'to thrive', 'flourish', or 'prosper'. It's a beautiful and somewhat less common verb that evokes growth and well-being.

In the song, it's used in the line "Mit dir daran gedeihen" (With you, it will thrive/flourish), referring to the growth of a child and the love surrounding it. This word captures the essence of nurturing and positive development, making it very evocative and memorable.
