Zeig mir den Platz an der Sonne [English translation]

In my heart flutters silently

a little colourful butterfly

that is sent on a journey by aspiration

when I sing of my dreams.

I see a country, it is still far,

where there is love and caress.

Show me the place on the sun,

where all people understand each other;

Love alone is the sun,

that's why love mustn't ever set.

Show me the place on the sun,

where all people understand each other;

Love alone is the sun,

that's why love mustn't ever set.

Who cares about the pains of their neighbours,

who helps the next one through the act?

We have a lock before the heart,

and barbwire around the soul.

I search for a country, it is still far,

where there is peace and humanity.

Show me the place on the sun,

where all people understand each other;

Love alone is the sun,

that's why love mustn't ever set.

Show me the place on the sun,

where all people understand each other;

Love alone is the sun,

that's why love mustn't ever set.

Show me the place on the sun,

where all people understand each other;

Love alone is the sun,

that's why love mustn't ever set.
