Weit ist der Weg [English translation]

Far is the way

The way is so far

Far are the endless green forests

(the way, the way is so far)

Hot burns the sun on the fields

(the way, the way is so far)

Somewhere, alone in the dark night

I have thought about this:

Thousands of miles from home

the world looks so different

and suddenly it's clear to you

what home was for you

Thousands of miles from home

the world looks so different

because there is no man

that loves you

The way, the way, is so far

The way is far, the way is so far

One who knows the secret, silent longing

(the way, the way is so far)

One who counts the unshed tears

(the way, the way is so far)

Only one who's seen the world as I have

Only he can understand me

(far is the way, the way is so far)

(far is the way, the way is so far)
