English translations of Fünf Männerchöre, opus 61
by Adolf Prümers (1877 - 1955)
Die ihr meine Brüder seid, Arme Menschen nah und ferne, Die ihr im Bezirk der Sterne Tröstung träumet eurem Leid, Die ihr wortelos gefaltet In die blaß gestirnte Nacht Schmale Dulderhände haltet, Die ihr leidet, die ihr wacht, Arme, irrende Gemeinde, Schiffer ohne Stern und Glück -- Fremde, dennoch mir Vereinte, Gebt mir meinen Gruß zurück.

You who [are]1 my brethren, Poor people near and far, Who in the realm of the stars Dream of comfort for your woe, Who, mutely folded, hold Your slender, patiently suffering hands Into the pale-starred night, You who suffer, you who watch, Poor, erring congregation, Sailors without star and good fortune -- Strangers, yet united with me, Return my greeting to me.
