Wo meine Sonne scheint [English translation]

I greet my island in the sunlight

That breaks out silver and bright in the morning

I greet the home of glimmering sand

The brown hut on the seashore

Where my sun shines

And where my stars are

There you can see the shine of hope

And the light of freedom in the distance

I think about burden and agony and hardship

About the call of the drum in the red sunset

I think about you and your silhouette

That wraps itself in golden dreams

Where my sun shines

And where my stars are

There you can see the shine of hope

And the light of freedom in the distance

I see them kneeling in the high pipe

And I hear the choir of freedom in the distance

I see the hand that points towards the sky

And feel the pain that's called homesickness

Where my sun shines

And where my stars are

There you can see the shine of hope

And the light of freedom in the distance

I hope that the time soon comes

Where a ship carries me to the island

Burden and agony and hardship also wait

There I want to be quiet and content

Where my sun shines

And where my stars are

There you can see the shine of hope

And the light of freedom in the distance
