Heimweh

(chorus:) |: so beautiful, beautiful was the time :|
Burning hot desert sand,
(chorus:) |: so beautiful, beautiful was the time :|
Far, so far from the homeland.
No greeting, no heart, no kiss, no joke.
(chorus:) |: so beautiful, beautiful was the time :|
Everything lies so far, so far.

(refrain:)
Where the flowers bloom,
Where the valleys are green,
There was once my home.
Where I found my dearest,
There lies my homeland,
How long will I be alone?

Many years of heavy toil,
Hard work, meager pay,
Day in, day out, no luck, no home
Everything lies so far, so far.

Refrain

(chorus:) |: so beautiful, beautiful was the time :|
Listen to me, you golden stars,
(chorus:) |: so beautiful, beautiful was the time :|
Greet the love in the distance.
With joy and sorrow time passes,
(chorus:) |: so beautiful, beautiful was the time :|
Everything lies so far, so far.

Refrain
