Engel is an oldie but a goodie. It's hard to nail it down in English. This is the first draft, and right now I can't see any way to improve it. I'm not sure if my version is worse than or better than the English version Rammstein recorded though:
For those who're good in life there will
Be life past their death as an angel
You should look up and contemplate
Why you can't see the angels' place
Look up here when the high clouds sleep
See us up here where we weep
Alone and so afeared are we
An angel's the last thing I'd ever be
Beyond the light is where they stay
They're infinitely far away
From their stars they cannot stray (hold tight)
So they will not lose their way
Look up here when the high clouds sleep
See us up here where we weep
Alone and so afeared are we
An angel's the last thing I'd ever be
Look up here when the high clouds sleep
See us up here where we weep
Alone and so afeared are we
An angel's the last thing I'd ever be
I kind of like the chorus though.
