Froh, dabei zu sein [English translation]

You are still only young

That's what people say

But if I had to go today

I couldn't really complain

Everything that I've experienced already

When I think about all the people

Who were done too early with their lives

Then it's my gift

I'm awfully frightened of dying

I hope I'm not alone there

When life is sad, too, sometimes

I'm glad, glad to be there

I don't have a fortune

But a few people like me

And there's this girl who loves me

I don't know what is better in the world

Among all the storms and rain

I went in the sunshine too much

Even if the fear of dying hurts

I'm glad, glad to be there

Da da da da da da

If there's ever a time I must go

Please hold my hand

I really don't want to be alone

When the journey sets off in the unknown land

I'd jump to the other side, no matter where we were

In these years I've seen so much of the world

No matter what comes after that, wherever we go

I wish nothing more than to see you there again

I'm awfully frightened of dying

I hope I'm not alone there

When life is sad, too, sometimes

I'm glad, glad to be there
