Hoffnung [English translation]

The sense of life is to carry hope,

To walk your way through thorns,

To dare to go through the gates of hell,

In order to float through darkness.

To find the pain of bitter love,

To resist the temptation,

To wind yourself in embers of passion,

To face the evil.

Give me hope that it will go on,

Hope that I will withstand,

Hope that you will never leave me,

Hope that it will go on.

[Chorus:]

Give me hope in a hopeless hour,

Give me hope and a way to believe.

Give me hope, strength in any hour,

Give me hope,

Give it all to feel relief.

'Cause every rose that is broken,

And every sting in your hand

Jabbed in desperation

Can only be cauterized by love.

Give me hope that it will go on,

Hope that I will withstand,

Hope that you will never leave me,

Hope that it will go on.

[Chorus]

And when the night encases me,

And when desire keeps me awaken

Filling the room with loneliness,

Entering my heart drillingly…

Will you give me hope that it will go on,

Hope that I will withstand,

Hope that you will never leave me,

Hope that it will go on?

[Chorus:]

Give me hope in a hopeless hour,

Give me hope and a way to believe.

Give me hope strength, love and power,

Give me hope,

Give it all to feel relief.
