Heimweh [English translation]

Burning hot desert sand,

far, so faraway the homeland.

No greeting, no heart,

no kiss, no joke.

Everything lies so far, so far.

There where the flowers bloom.

There where the valleys are green.

There I was once at home.

Where I found the dearest one,

there lies my homeland.

When am I not alone anymore?

Many years of heavy drudgery.

Hard work - meager pay

Day in, day out

No happiness/luck, no home.

Listen to me, you golden stars.

Greet the dearest ones in the distance

In joy and sorrow.

Moves the time.
