Das Lied vom einsamen Mädchen [English translation]

She gently hugged her toy

Before she broke it

And she felt a longing

And didn't know what for

Because she was lonely

And her hair so blonde

And her mouth as red as wine

But whoever drank from this wine

Couldn't be happy anymore

But someone said in spring:

"You too feel pleasure and pain"

And broke off a thousand roses for her

But she only broke his heart

Because she was lonely

And her hair so blond

And her mouth as red as wine

Yes, no one could kiss like that

And yet be so lonely

What was left of her life

A song that nobody sang

St. Peter left her to wait

For two eternities

Because she was lonely

And her hair so blond

And her heart as dead as stone

Then he called: Poor child, come

You shall never be lonely again
