Frag den Abendwind [English translation]

Ask the evening wind

where happiness begins

but do not ask why

it sometimes shatters to pieces

Ask the silver moon

where love resides

but do not ask

when love breaks

Fairy tales are such wonderful things

for even children can understand them

And in tales the Prince always vanquishes

the evil dragon

He who found the rainbow

stood high above in the sky

and alone knows where the most beautiful

treasure in the world lies buried

Ask the the evening wind

where happiness begins

but do not ask why

it sometimes shatters to pieces

Ask the silver moon

where love resides

but do not ask

when love breaks

The summer breeze always breaks flowers

as a small child

who no longer knows what to do

with his favorite toy

All the streets are so grey

and thus the world goes round and round

the stars will always fade away

when a new and younger day begins

Ask the the evening wind

where happiness begins

but do not ask why

it sometimes shatters to pieces

Ask the silver moon

where love resides

but do not ask

when love breaks
