Zeig mir den Platz an der Sonne [English translation]

A small colourful butterfly

flutters softly in my heart,

The longing sends it on a journey,

when I sing about my dreams.

I see a country, it's still far away,

where love and tenderness dwell.

Show me the place in the sun,

where all people understand each other;

Love alone is the sun,

that's why love should never perish.

Show me the place in the sun,

where all people understand each other;

Love alone is the sun,

that's why love should never perish.

Whose concern is neighbour's griefs

who aids the fellow creature by the deed?

Our hearts are bolted

and there's barbed wire around the soul.

I'm searching for a land, it's still far away,

where there is peace and fellowship.

Show me the place in the sun,

where all people understand each other;

Love alone is the sun,

that's why love should never perish.

Show me the place in the sun,

where all people understand each other;

Love alone is the sun,

that's why love should never perish.

Show me the place in the sun,

where all people understand each other;

Love alone is the sun,

that's why love should never perish.
