So ein Wind [English translation]

That, how it was in the morning,

whether difficult, whether easy, whether unattainable,

whether you are now coming or not,

whether in the meantime you, as light as a feather,

up and down, every now and then, unfathomably free,

are perhaps as light.

Look how, as if completely on the side,

such a wind takes you by the hand,

and no matter whatever happens,

it never complains, never asks

Look how, as if completely on the side,

such a wind takes you by the hand,

and no matter whatever happens,

it never complains, never asks

How it was in the morning,

whether difficult, whether easy, whether unattainable,

whether you are now coming or not,

whether something changes, for nothing changes based upon

the fact that, oh, man, you've not been the only one for a long time,

the fact that everything for and everything against,

whether important or invalid,

that what remains and stays behind,

that even your pride

is perhaps as light.
