Das Glück der Anderen Leute [English translation]

And the happiness of others flooded my mind today

Weighs heavily on my soul, that like a dry branch that fades away

Where before there was a smile, now is a valley of tears

Where before there was joy,

Now shines a black circle

So tell me where, do I find you today, my child

And why are you no longer always faithful to me?

If I can’t find you today anymore, let it be tomorrow

You’re all that I have

And the enjoyment of others flooded my mind today

Eating ice cream there, in the field, that blooms only for them

And I sit here, in my valley of tears

It’s dark all around me and I don’t know, where I am

Tell me why you left today

And why didn’t you take me with you?

If you don’t come back today, then it must be tomorrow

I’m so lost without you

I find you on mountains of this earth

I find you in “you and me”

And from a smile also

And in the valley also I met your friends* already

And in the vastness and the oceans of this world

So tell me where, do I find you today, my child

And why are you no longer always faithful to me?

If I can’t find you today anymore, let it be tomorrow

You’re everything from my soul

Where are you?

Where are you?

Where are you?

Where are you?
