Geh und fang den Wind [Catch the Wind] [English translation]

On the cheerless, long days,

When I am lonesome,

Not knowing where to go,

Then I wish I could be with you.

Then I seek to be near you

But find it nowhere

And I might

Just as well say: "Go and catch the wind."

In the cold, long nights

When love is silent

And no star shows up

Then I wish I could be with you.

Your smiles that comfort me

I find nowhere

And I might

Just as well say: "Go and catch the wind."

When the early, fresh morning

Sings its songs

Bringing along expectation

Then I wish I could be with you.

Your eyes that I love

I find nowhere

And I might

Just as well say: "Go and catch the wind."

And I might

Just as well say: "Go and catch the wind."
