Wenn du so einsam bist

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Wenn du so einsam bist,
Müde und traurig bist,
So sterbensbange,
Siehest den Himmel nicht,
Fühlest die Liebe nicht,
Die dich umfange.
Weine nicht! 
Siehe! über den Wolken
Lächeln die Sterne!

Comfort

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

When you are so lonely,
Are tired and sad,
So deathly anxious,
[When] you do not see Heaven,
Do not feel the love
That encircles you.
Do not weep!
Lo, above the clouds
The stars are smiling!
