Ein Lied aus meiner Heimat
A song from my homeland
My homeland, my never-forgotten homelandAnd my parents’ lakeside houseLie up there in the stars.Lonely, I dream of those distant daysAnd my never-forgotten youthThat I shall never see again.I shall never forget a song from my homelandThat my mother once sang to me.I shall never forget a song from my homelandThat sounded to me like a fairy-tale.My heart longs to return to my homeland,There, where I played as a childAnd felt nothing of the world’s pain.Years passed silently by me,And as they passed, my fever –Called the dreams of youth – vanished.Many who once swore friendshipVanished along with that time,Because life parts everything.

A song from my homeland
My homeland, my never-forgotten homeland
And my parents’ lakeside house
Lie up there in the stars.
Lonely, I dream of those distant days
And my never-forgotten youth
That I shall never see again.
I shall never forget a song from my homeland
That my mother once sang to me.
I shall never forget a song from my homeland
That sounded to me like a fairy-tale.
My heart longs to return to my homeland,
There, where I played as a child
And felt nothing of the world’s pain.
Years passed silently by me,
And as they passed, my fever –
Called the dreams of youth – vanished.
Many who once swore friendship
Vanished along with that time,
Because life parts everything.
