Prinzessin auf dem Abstellgleis [English translation]

She angrily slams the door shut,

She came home alone

So many men behind her,

None of them stayed

She set off with her yearning,

With even more strength and courage

The princess on the sidetrack

Remained alone

She counts up to ten,

Closes her eyes

And starts over from the start,

Then she can see

How the sea is parted,

And she can laugh again

And she counts until sleep defeats her

When she was insensible

Life was easy,

She never thought about it twice

When no one stayed

And time will never be her friend,

She ran away from it

She quietly turns off the light now,

So alone

She counts up to ten,

Closes her eyes

And starts over from the start,

Then she can see

How the sea is parted,

And she can laugh again

And she counts until sleep defeats her

I count up to ten,

Close my eyes

And start over from the starts,

Then I can see

How the sea is parted,

And I can laugh again

I count up to ten,

Then I can see

How the sea is parted,

And I can laugh again

And I count until sleep defeats me
