Wort [English translation]

Word - you are an element of thoughts

You can be an illusion that burns

You are incomprehensible

When they say they understood

Word - you have so many meanings

You are the pivotal point in ideas

You can be redundant

And sometimes you are hollow

Word - you are so silent and gentle

Yet you have the greatest power

On this earth

And you rule this earth

Word - you are being whispered and cited

You are the guiding beam that leads us

You already dictated war and peace

Word - you have so many shapes

And you so unattainably old

You can be ardently hot

And so cold

Word - you are being abused and commanded

You have directed dictators

And you've already seduced whole nations

Word - sometimes you are also radical

You hit us like a sword

Because your impact is not only huge in good things

Word - you are so tender and warm

Your sound takes us into your arms

You are the bridge

That brings people together

Word - you become melodious when one sings

You are a signal that sinks in

You are the symphony that never dies away
