Schwestern, Brüder(original) |
| What’s the life of a man any more than a leaf |
| Man has his seasons so why should he grieve |
| Though all through this life we appear fine and gay |
| Like a leaf we must wither and soon fade away |
| Ihr Schwestern und Brüder die ihr vor der Zeit |
| Zu früh wie mir scheint von uns gegangen seid |
| Manchmal Träume ich von euch als stündet ihr hier |
| So als sei nichts geschehen lebendig vor mir |
| Manchem der noch länger geblieben wär |
| Fiel der Abschied vom Leben unsagbar schwer |
| Schwestern, Brüder wer könnte euch besser verstehen |
| Als ich, wird es mir einst doch ähnlich ergehen |
| Manch anderer der uns für immer verließ |
| Suchte Trost in der Hoffnung auf ein Paradies |
| Im Glauben an einen ihm gnädigen Gott |
| Vieleicht stirbt der der glaubt einen leichteren Tod |
| Wieviele schon haben für sich ganz allein |
| In Tagen und Nächten nie endender Pein |
| Für niemals begangene Sünden gebüßt |
| Und den Tod als ihren Freund und Erlöser begrüßt |
| Bleibt die Frage die jeder sich irgendwann stellt |
| Sterbe ich einst in Frieden mit mir und der Welt |
| Oder werde ich kämpfend dem tod widerstehen |
| Anstatt gefasst meinem Ende entgegen zu sehen |
| What’s the life of a man any more than a leaf |
| Man has his seasons so why should he grieve |
| Though all through this life we appear fine and gay |
| Like a leaf we must wither and soon fade away |
| (translation) |
| What's the life of a man any more than a leaf |
| Man has his seasons so why should he grieve |
| Though all through this life we appear fine and gay |
| Like a leaf we must wither and soon fade away |
| You sisters and brothers who are ahead of time |
| You left us too early it seems to me |
| Sometimes I dream of you as if you were standing here |
| As if nothing had happened alive in front of me |
| Some who would have stayed longer |
| Saying goodbye to life was incredibly difficult |
| Sisters, brothers who could understand you better |
| As I, I will one day feel the same |
| Some others who left us forever |
| Seeked solace in hope of paradise |
| In his belief in a God who is gracious to him |
| Perhaps the one who believes will die an easier death |
| How many already have for themselves all alone |
| In days and nights of never-ending torment |
| Atoned for sins never committed |
| And welcomed death as her friend and savior |
| The question that everyone asks at some point remains |
| I will die one day in peace with myself and the world |
| Or will I fight to resist death |
| Instead of facing my end calmly |
| What's the life of a man any more than a leaf |
| Man has his seasons so why should he grieve |
| Though all through this life we appear fine and gay |
| Like a leaf we must wither and soon fade away |
