Ingrid [English translation]

Happiness is up to you,

you have to cheer up, get up and get dressed

And you can't stay and wallow

in everything melancholic because you'll get depressed

I do know this and don't you see how cheery1I'm today:

I do my work while smiling

And you are totally blind

about how I have fallen there - in darkness

Isn't it so, you have to survive, can't stop

This was my fault

Everyone else is carrying their burdens too,

now I just have to harden my shell

I do know this and don't you see how cheery I'm today:

I do my work while smiling

And you are totally blind

about how exhausted I am

I can laugh, I can bring light,

even though in reality I can't breathe

I will be cheery today even though

I'm almost giving up already

How cheery I'm today

I do my work while smiling

And you are totally blind

about how exhausted I am

I can laugh, I can bring light,

even though in reality I can't breathe

I am so cheery today

You don't see that I'm on the way - to darkness
