Ein wahres Glück [English translation]

The morning shines bright

Light streams through the clouds

The balloon stands ready

People are gathering

The ropes are tight

The weight is balanced

The take-off is imminent

The wind only will navigate

Everything is prepared for the journey

I leave the daily routine behind me

Aloof from my home

Towards sunlight

Far from everything as long as the journey lasts

A true happiness to be a dreamer sometimes

The world breaks loose and my way to the sky is clear

The ropes are cut off

Upwards, to the clouds

The gondola rises

As it takes me through the air

Every worry stays behind

And leaves me finally free

People are gazing after me

The sky seems so immense to me

Birds escort me

And the World seems so small

Aloof from my home

Towards sunlight

Far from everything as long as the journey lasts

A true happiness to be a dreamer sometimes

The world breaks loose and my way to the sky is clear

A true happiness

Far from everything

To be a dreamer sometimes

I leave everything behind me

The wind only will navigate

A true happiness to be a dreamer sometimes

The world breaks loose and my way to the sky is clear
