Eine Handvoll Heimatland [English translation]

Sometimes, I lie awake

And I hear the wind

And I think how many people

Are without a home

Sometimes in the dark night

I hold you tight

And I know what I'll give you when you go from me

A handful of homeland

A bit of security

So you always know

Where your heart belongs

A handful of homeland

So that you never forget

To see home again

Is worth many tears

Home is like the storm

That fills the sails

That brings your ship into port

And stills your longing

Home is like the dream

That is your life

Because you feel lost without it

A handful of homeland

A bit of security

So you always know

Where your heart belongs

A handful of homeland

So that you never forget

To see home again

Is worth many tears

Look around

The world is nowhere as beautiful as here

Even if you go

You can never lose it

It is and will remain a part of you

A handful of homeland

A bit of security

So you always know

Where your heart belongs

To see home again

Is worth many tears
