Alles ist gut [English translation]

All's well

For a few hours peace bows over our meridian

All's well

What should happen today, did so

And what was to be done, has been done

Just for a little while it appears

as there was neither hate nor envy

As if all evil, all injustice, disappeared

In the darkness of endless space

And for a dream's duration

It seems as if all discord has come to rest

All's well, my child

All's well

All's well

Briefly the night delivers the sick man from his pain

All's well

And closes the eyes of the dishearted for all sorrows

And exhaustion bestows oblivion to the desperate who live unconsoled and without hope - at least for a short while

And the persecuted man is safe

As obscurity puts on him the shielding cloak till morning

All's well, my child

All's well

All's well

All evil hasn't occurred, all faults erased

All's well

In Neverland where neither today nor tomorrow hold sway

Where the loser reaches his goal, reaches the unattainable

Where the suppressed find sanctuary, where the intolerable is made bearable

Where sleep heals all wounds mercifuly

Removes - for a few hours - all burdens

that heavily sit on our shoulders

All's well, my child

All's well

All's well
