Optimist [English translation]

[Verse 1]

They see all in black and you make your way

They say "No", and for you things are well

They stagnate and you go

They belittle, you make it great

Out of each overthrow, each humiliation

You make a picture, a collage

Out of each shards, each criticism

A mosaic or music

[Chorus]

The whole world revolves around you

Because you love it and you never forget

How great and beautiful live is

You only see that as an optimist

The whole world revolves around you

You glow brightly, as you are

Even if it is often not easy

You are and you'll always remain an optimist

An optimist, an optimist

An optimist, an optimist, an optimist

[Verse 2]

They give up, you sooner get going

They fall low, you always go high

They hear away and you listen closely

They find errors, you look for meaning

You make the most beautiful verse

Out of every major disaster

You always find the antidote

Only an optimist can do that

[Chorus]

The whole world revolves around you

Because you love it and you never forget

How great and beautiful live is

You only see that as an optimist

The whole world revolves around you

You glow brightly, as you are

Even if it is often not easy

You are and you'll always remain an optimist

An optimist, an optimist

[Bridge]

The eyes closed, the eyes open

They look back and you foresee

You take the way that isn't one

Only an optimist can do that

[Chorus]

The whole world revolves around you

Because you love it and you never forget

How great and beautiful live is

You only see that as an optimist

The whole world revolves around you

You glow brightly, as you are

Even if it is often not easy

You are and you'll always remain an optimist

An optimist, an optimist

An optimist, an optimist, an optimist
