Schwarze Augen, Schwarze Haut Und Ein Herz, Das Weint

Black eyes, black skin and a heart that cries
No love, no friend who means it honestly
Where is the hand that held you tightly in your childhood
You look back and you realize it is infinitely far

Where does the song of equal rights sound that is a lie
Where is the light and where are the shadows that you never forget
Where is the big city that is your home where no Sun shines on you
Black eyes, black skin and a heart that cries

But you can forget all that when music sounds
When you dance and when you laugh and everything sings with you
Then you don't ask why and forget the pain of the night
Black eyes, black skin and yet a heart that laughs

Yes, you people make him happy because you listen to him
Many friends to whom he can now give joy
But when the curtain falls what remains of his world
When no light shines on him anymore
Black eyes, black skin and a heart that cries
Black eyes, black skin and a heart that cries
