Male nicht den Teufel an die Wand [English translation]

REFRAIN:

Don't paint a picture of doom and gloom.

Don't paint a picture of doom and gloom.

Paint a picture of roses in the snow

Or draw hearts in the sand,

But don't paint a picture of doom and gloom

My mother told me:

Don't think of it constantly,

What perhaps might happen,

For only then will it happen to you

You will lose the gold ring

And the best glass wil break

When one talks about it constantly

So …

REFRAIN

When you spot a cloud

Predict the downpour

And when you sneeze in the morning

Think about the hospital

Please believe in our luck

Don't see everything in shades of gray

For the world stays as blue as the sky [?]

So …
