Wenn die Blumen weinen könnten [English translation]

Where are the flowers?

Carefree children plucked them.

Where are the flowers?

Streets and houses crushed them.

Where are the flowers?

Who robbed summer of its colourful splendour?

Flowers are helpless and mute,

Nobody pays attention.

If the flowers could weep,

Weep just like me,

Then all those colourful flowers

Would have tear-stained faces.

If the flowers could talk

They would cry for help.

How would the earth be without flowers?

Where are the woods?

They were silent all those years.

Where are the woods?

Careless people conquered them.

Where are the woods?

Who destroyed hope's greenness?*

Woods perish in total silence

Because nobody hears them.

If the woods could weep,

Weep just like me,

Then all those proud trees

Would have tear-stained faces

If the woods could talk

They would cry for help

What would the world be without woods?

And our love - how will it be tomorrow

When we don't understand the silence?

Sometimes I feel immensely lonely

Thinking: What's going to happen now?

If I could weep at times

Only for you to understand

That you simply overlook

A lot of my worries

When we all could say

What seems important to us

Then the world would never be devoid of love
