My amateur translation of the lyrics:
The Days
Once the caresses came all by themselves
And each day was filled with silver
For you gilded each moment with a free mind
And dazzled I joined your journey
Days like sand flow from our hands
If you doubt, then feel
One like the other goes with the wind
And the time we have goes there
Promise that you'll stay with me all your days
Yes, we made that promise together
So I gave you a ring, it was easily done
Then that day too sneaks quietly away
So far away
So far away
Like the wind can chase the blue waves
There will I follow you, my friend
There will we find them again
And outside lurks the devil
and separates you from me
And if we had known,
we would have taken off
And I'd have carried you on my arm
through forest and over mountain
And you'd have held my hand
through gorge and dark ravine
And I'd have reached out for you
And you'd have reached out for me
So far away
So far away
So far as the sun can follow the blue waves
There will I follow you, my friend
There will we find them again
