Wenn der Wind sich dreht [English translation]

Don't play with fire

They told us

When children become heroes

We have failed

Toys become iron

Bosses become generals

What we children called lies

They now call morality

Only when the wind turns

Will we understand

When night becomes day

Then we will see the bridges

Only when the wind turns

Will it sweep away walls

And will brotherly love

Remain not just an empty term

Longing torments hearts

And a child is crying

Cover your ears quickly

And make yourself deaf and blind

You have many names

Know the labyrinth

Please tell me

Why we are so unteachable

Only when the wind turns

Will we understand

When night becomes day

Then we will see the bridges

Only when the wind turns

Will it sweep away borders

And brotherly love

Remains not just an empty expression
