Über sieben Brücken musst du geh'n [English translation]

Sometimes I'm walking and not looking on the track

Sometimes I wish I had my rocking horse back

Sometimes I'm restless, as I can be

Sometimes I lock all the doors behind me

Sometimes I'm hot and I'm sometimes cold

And I forget myself cause I'm too old

Sometimes I feel tired all morning long

And I seek some comfort in a song

(REF)

Over seven bridges you must stride

Seven dark long years your pain abide

Seven times in torments you must pine

But in the end your radiant light will shine

Sometimes the clockwork of your life goes slow

And it seems we must in circles go

Sometimes longing will drive you insane

And you'll watch that radiant sunset again

Sometimes we dream up a place to live

Sometimes we take, where we should give

Sometimes the stars fall like a wounded dove

And sometimes we hate what we most love
