Applaus, Applaus [English translation]

If my hand is a fist, you open it

and lay yours in mine.

You whisper sentences with caution through all the noise

as if they where my sextant and my compass.

Applause, applause

for your words

my heart opens up

when you laugh!

Applause, applause

for your way to enthuse myself

don't stop doing that!

I wish so much,

you'll never stop doing that!

If my earth is a plate, you make it round again.

You show me in a silent way what it means to be far-sighted.

If I want to bash my head against a wall

you put a helmet an a hammer into my hand

Applause, applause

for your words

my heart opens up

when you laugh!

Applause, applause

for your way to enthuse myself

don't stop doing that!

I wish so much,

you'll never stop doing that!

Applause, applause

for your words

my heart opens up

when you laugh!

Applause, applause

for your way to enthuse myself

don't stop doing that!

I wish so much,

you'll never stop doing that!
