Bruder, Warum Hilfst Du Mir Nicht?
Udo Jürgens
Brother, Why Don't You Help Me?
We steer our paths
High up to heaven
We raise our flags
On other stars
We implant foreign hearts
We heal pain and death
And leave helpless and alone
To help one's neighbor in need
Yes the sea of stars
And you will get to know the universe
While cold and empty
Separate you from the next world
And his mouth remains silent
But he looks you in the face
Brother why don't you help me
Brother why don't you help me
A world full of suffering
Full of fear and worry
So much darkness
Is so close and yet hidden
Because need makes us silent
Only one look accuses and speaks
Brother why don't you help me
Brother why don't you help me
Why don't you give me
Your hand that supports me
Who bears the burden with me
When arbitrariness strikes at me (strikes at me)
Instead of in the darkness all around
Give me a place in the light
Brother why don't you help me
Brother why don't you help me
