Das weiche Wasser [English translation]

A drop of water stands alone

come join the others in this call

together we will turn the stone

together as a waterfall

Surely now our road is long

remember hardships of the past

but moving makes the water strong

no rock was ever made to last

As water turns these walls to sand

though we are weak we understand

it's time to heed the water's call

no rock could stand the water -

no rock could stand the water -

no rock could stand the waterfall!

For Europe has seen two world wars

a third would surely end us all

Be strong, believe, don't change your course

(love force is like a waterfall) (no rock could stand the waterfall)

While hungry children cry in vain

a banquet's set with arsenals

the tablecloth with blood is stained

we'll wash it in the waterfall

As water turns stonewalls* to sand *[these walls]

though we are weak we understand

it's time to heed the water's call

no rock could stand the water -

no rock could stand the water -

no rock could stand the waterfall!

Monopoly the ice-cold game

where every figure stands alone

the winner always wants the same

but power turns them into stone

Come show your strength come show your grace

come dancing at our festive ball

we're still part of the human race

no rock could stand the waterfall

As water turns stonewalls* to sand *[these walls]

though we are weak we understand

it's time to heed the water's call

no rock could stand the water -

no rock could stand the water -

no rock could stand the waterfall!
