Du machst mir Mut [English translation]

Hard times are ahead.

The next winter will be long.

Its cold breath

is nearing so fast.

We'll stand up to it together.

You give me strength1 in these times.

You give me strength in these times.

You are my anchor in darkness.

You give me strength in these times.

Black clouds from a dark sea

are drifting closer.

A storm has long

been gathering.

We'll stand up to it together.

You give me strength in these times.

You give me strength in these times.

You are my anchor in darkness.

You give me strength in these times.

No matter how dire the need

or how threatening our fate,

we'll go on till next morning

whatever the next day

might bring.

We can stand it together

and look the storm in the eye.

When nobody remains sane

and no one can face destitution,

when few can still see

what really matters,

you'll bring light to my world.

You give me strength in these times.

You give me strength in these times.

You are my anchor in darkness.

You give me strength in these times.

You give me strength in these times.
