Du allein [English translation]

The fairytales of your childhood are colourful

The dreams of your youth are vain

But you have to watch all your dreams vanish

Once you've come of age

If the happiness you're promised today is deceptive

If the fidelity that will be broken tomorrow is full of lies

Then you'll realise it: Trust nobody but yourself

For you'll find out that...

Only you can be the master of your destiny

Even if the whole world is against it

Why do you keep asking, why do you lament in fear?

May the others cry

You'll be on that way alone

Only you

The songs of your childhood are silent now

The dreams of your youth are long gone now

That imaginary happiness that you achieve by storm

Is going to end so quickly

If your whole world collapses then

Don't hope for a miracle falling from heaven

Take your skills, your hope for an upcoming happiness

Tightly in your hands

You alone can be the master of your destiny

Even if the devil appears in between

Don't care about the rest of the world, do it your way

And let the others cry

You'll be on that way alone

Only you, only you

Only you
