Illusionen

Illusions bloom in the summer wind
Blossoms that are so beautiful yet so fleeting
Only on your path will you gain experience
They wilt quickly

Illusions float summer blue
There in the sky of your life but you know exactly
That cloudless dream image of your imagination
You will never find

Illusions bloom in reality
To the dance of youth
A first hint of suffering
Will it blow away

But as long as a person can still dream
Will surely someday
A dream come true for him

You have created illusions
Because the person you once loved
Laughed at you
And the cloud castle that you built
Collapses in a single night

And then you ask yourself
Why does this have to be
But only life alone can tell you the answer
With time, only when the years of your summer are gone
You will understand

Illusions bloom in reality
To the dance of youth
A first hint of suffering
Will it be blown away

But as long as a person can still dream
Will surely someday
A dream come true for him
