I wish that you’d never ask again
That very same question.
You forget it after a few seconds,
But it tortures me on and on,
And I answer with empty words,
And I say: "I swear everything is fine!"
I leave them and walk away so that...
I don’t have to hear their question again.
O world, what’s with you?
Why are you so tough on me?
What did I do wrong?
And why is my heart suffering so?
We carry inside ourselves the burden and worries of so many years
Without showing it at all:
Our eyes laugh, but...
Our tears flow inside us.
Hours go by
Thinking about the past.
How can it be that life has…
Passed by us and quietly faded away?
O world, give us a straight answer!
Who of us is abusing who?
Did we wrong you, O world, in anyway?
Or have we done our part?
O world, give us a straight answer!
Who of us is abusing who?
Did we wrong you, O world, in anyway?
Or have we done our part?
And I answer with empty words,
And I say: "I swear everything is fine!"
I leave them and walk away so that...
I don’t have to hear their question again.
Then I forget and I go back to living and dreaming
Whether my dreams are destined to happen or not,
I'm not going to get except what's destined for me in life.
So that’s it, why worry? I don’t care about anything else!
Never be sad, little bird
After the tears its only good,
But all in good time.
Have patience, for the Lord is mighty.
O world, give us a straight answer!
Who of us is abusing who?
Did we wrong you, O world, in anyway?
Or have we done our part?
O world, give us a straight answer!
Who of us is abusing who?
Did we wrong you, O world, in anyway?
Or have we done our part?
And I answer with empty words,
And I say: "I swear everything is fine!"
I leave them and walk away so that...
I don’t have to hear their question again.
