Literal Translation (faithful, structured):
VERSE 1:
Twenty-five years have passed, my love,
And I still lose myself in your eyes, like on the first day.
Life has carried us through good times and through hard,
But your hand in mine has held me always.
CHORUS:
Veronica… you are my song,
You are my calm and the fire that does not fade.
And if the world were to stop today,
I would still choose you.
Veronica, my love…
With you I go to the edge of the stars.
VERSE 2:
I’ve gathered roads, laughter and rain in my soul,
And every morning I feel that we are still just the two of us.
In your voice I find all that I am,
And in your steps I find the road back home.
CHORUS:
Veronica… you are my song,
You are my calm and the fire that does not fade.
And if the world were to stop today,
I would still choose you.
Veronica, my love…
With you I go to the edge of the stars.
BRIDGE:
Maybe time flies… but we remain two.
And if you should fall, I will always lift you up.
For your other half… is my soul.
FINAL CHORUS:
Veronica… you are my song,
And every day I tell you in my heart "I love you."
As long as the world has a sunrise,
I remain by your side, inseparable.
Veronica, my love…
I give you my whole life.
Singable Adaptation (country ballad, male voice, singable phrasing & imagery):
VERSE 1:
Twenty-five years gone by, darlin', hand in hand,
I still get lost in your eyes like the first time we began.
We've rode through bright days and weathered every storm,
But your warm hand on mine kept my heart safe and warm.
CHORUS:
Veronica… you are my song,
You're the porch light in the night and the fire that keeps me strong.
If the whole wide world stopped turnin' right now,
I'd still walk back to you, I'd swear it here and now.
Veronica, my love…
With you I’ll chase the edge of every midnight star.
VERSE 2:
I've packed our years like suitcases, laughter, dust and rain,
Every sunrise brings me back to you, we’re the same two again.
In the timbre of your voice I find what makes me whole,
And in the rhythm of your footsteps, I find the road back home.
CHORUS:
Veronica… you are my song,
You're the porch light in the night and the fire that keeps me strong.
If the whole wide world stopped turnin' right now,
I'd still walk back to you, I'd swear it here and now.
Veronica, my love…
With you I’ll chase the edge of every midnight star.
BRIDGE:
Time may fly like sparrows over open fields,
But we stand steady by the promises we sealed.
If ever you stumble, I'll lift you from the ground,
'Cause the other half of you is the heart I found.
FINAL CHORUS (extended):
Veronica… you are my song,
Every morning in my chest I whisper "I love you" all day long.
While there’s a sunrise over corn and golden land,
I’ll keep my hand in yours, forever where we stand.
Veronica, my love…
Take all of me — my days, my road, my whole life long.
