Über sieben Brücken musst du geh'n [English translation]

Sometimes I go down my street without a glance

And I long to see my childhood days again

Sometimes I can hardly even stay still

Needing something new behind the doors I go through

Sometimes I am hot and then I'm cold

When I know that there is something going on

In the places that we all have to go

Before we see the right that's in a wrong

There are seven bridges to be crossed

Seven years of darkness to survive

Seven times in oceans to be lost

But then I'll see the shining light

Sometimes seems the hands of time are standing still

And it feels that things are going round and round

Sometimes we all have the need to get away

And to sit in silence all by yourself

Sometimes hands can reach out to the world

Maybe lucky stars are on the way

Sometimes we are taking when we should give

And hate the things that we still really love

There are seven bridges to be crossed

Seven years of darkness to survive

Seven times in oceans you'll be lost

And then you'll see the shining light

There are seven bridges to be crossed

Seven years of darkness to survive

Seven times in oceans you'll be lost

And then you will see the shining light

And then you will see the shining light

Written by Helmut Richter, Ulrich Swillms - English lyric by Chris de Burgh
