Danke, Freunde [English translation]

I'm thinking back on the times when we sat together

Talking about our worries and troubles

Everybody bore a hand and everybody had something to give

And we found a new way of living

Thank you, my friends!

I'm glad that you are there

Finally, I'm not feeling so alone anymore

Thank you, my friends!

If everybody tries a little

The world of tomorrow can be a better place for all of us

Some people feel betrayed their whole lives

Far too many turn to drugs

It's about time to talk about it

Instead of repeating our parents' mistakes with our children

Thank you, my friends!

I'm glad that you are there

Finally, I'm not feeling so alone anymore

Thank you, my friends!

If everybody tries a little

The world of tomorrow can be a better place for all of us

Help overcome the cold and the hate

Let's retrieve bridges that have long been lost

This world is sick, but we can change it

Millions of young people in all kinds of countries think so

Thank you, thank you, my friends!

I'm glad that you are there

Finally, I'm not feeling so alone anymore

And I'm telling you: Thank you, my friends!

For if one sees friends like you

Everything will be fine after all

Everything will be fine after all

And one day, the world will be lovely

Thank you, my friends!

I'm glad that you are there

Finally, I'm not feeling so alone anymore

And I'm telling you: Thank you, my friends!

If everybody tries a little

The world of tomorrow can be a better place for all of us

Thank you, my friends!

I'm glad that you are there

Finally, I'm not feeling so alone...
