Mensenkind [Son Of Man] [English translation]

Oh, the strength to be strong*

And the wisdom of common sense

You wil acquire in due time

On your search through life

You will meet with the answer

No mountain will then be too high

You will even reach the top

Child of man

Look up

Don't give up

Do what you can

Once you will

Proudly walk upright

Child of man

Your time as a man

Will come

Nobody's there to take you by the hand

Who can show you the way

But with faith, hope, and love

A boy grows up to be a man.

Child of man

Look up

Don't give up

Do what you can

Once you will

Proudly walk upright

Child of man

Your time as a man

Will come

What you're learning from others

Another will learn from you

Amidst the one you love**

Everything you hoped for

Those dreams in your head

Oh, it will work out some time

If you believe in it

Child of man

Look up

Don't give up

Do what you can

Once you will

Proudly walk upright

Child of man

Your time as a man

Will come

Child of man

Child of man

Your time as a man

Will be there
