Sonne [English translation]

Where lilies bloom in dark moonlight

There you want to be, but you are not

Where roses bloom in the most beautiful sun light

There you are not, but you want to be

Where all your effort breaks is shattered, you can't go on

But you have to, but you have to

Where all your effort goes off in the drive

And mixes with feverish dreams

Which make all your efforts fail

Wake up and get yourself into it

It rises and sinks again later

It never stops its course

And takes its paths eternally

And nobody stops it

It rises and sinks again later

Never stops, has no fear

So conform to its course

As long as you can walk

And even if it leaves behind

Darkness on its journey

It wisely leaves the mellow gleam

To its brother then

Then someday the bright light is

Not important for you anymore

Because you have seen the path lit up

And may walk it in darkness now

Where lilies bloom in dark moonlight

Get yourself into it, don't hide
