Kleiner Walzer [English translation]

Sunlight is shining out of your face

I´m delighted to know how happy you are

I am doubting whilst you are speaking

I do not know yet what the right thing is

I do like everybody else but not me

What I´m liking is every day an different matter

And I do not know where my place is

Oh-oh, everything is all right, but never good enough

I´m letting go too little and allow too much

I go one step forward and thirty back

I´m waiting for “tomorrow I will catch my luck”

So much opportunity, but I don´t go out

I spoke so much and believed so little

So little closeness and so much applause

And I do not know where my place is

Some are younger and more beautifully than me

And the others are older and wiser

I´m yet too young for my serious face

And rather too often alone

Everything I do I don´t bring to an end and everything is only a “maybe”

Not one thing is really right and no thing is really wrong

And I do not know where my place is

You know it and I don´t hinder you

You know it and I don´t hinder you

You know it and I don´t hold you

Sunlight is shining out of your face

I´m delighted to know how happy you are

For a moment it also touches me

I would like to know what the right thing is
