Applaus, Applaus [English translation]

Is my hand clenched in a fist? You open it again

and lay then yours in mine

Your thoughtful whispers in my ear, over all the noise

are like my sextant and my compass

Applause, applause

For the words you speak

My heart leaps

When you laugh

Applause, applause

For the way that you lift me up

Don't ever stop doing that

I so wish that

You'd never stop doing it

When my world is but a plane, you make it round again

You show me in your soft way, what wisdom is

And when I'm there once again with my head through the wall,

You place helm and hammer in my hand

Applause, applause

For the words you speak

My heart leaps

When you laugh

Applause, applause

For the way that you lift me up

Don't ever stop doing that

I so wish that

You'd never stop doing it

Applause, applause

For the words you speak

My heart leaps

When you laugh

Applause, applause

For the way that you lift me up

Don't ever stop doing that

I so wish that

You'd never stop doing it
