Über sieben Brücken musst du gehen [English translation]

Sometimes I walk along my street without looking

Sometimes I wish I had my rocking horse back

Sometimes I never stop for a rest

Sometimes I lock all the doors behind me

Sometimes I’m cold and sometimes hot

Sometimes I no longer know what I know

Sometimes I’m already tired in the morning

And then I seek comfort in a song

You have to cross seven bridges

Endure seven dark years

Seven times you will be the ashes

But once also the bright light

Sometimes the clock of life seems to stand still

Sometime it seems you’re always going around in circles

Sometimes you’re ill as from wanderlust

Sometimes you just sit quietly on a bench

Sometimes you reach out for the whole world

Sometimes you think that your lucky star is falling

Sometimes you take, although you’d prefer to give

Sometimes you hate that which you really love.

You have to cross seven bridges

Endure seven dark years

Seven times you will be the ashes

But once also the bright light

You have to cross seven bridges

Endure seven dark years

Seven times you will be the ashes

But once also the bright light

You have to cross seven bridges

Endure seven dark years

Seven times you will be the ashes

But once also the bright light
