Wer hat mein Lied so zerstört, Ma? English translation
von Daliah Lavi

Who has destroyed my song so much, Ma
Who has destroyed my song so much?
I wanted to sing
What I can never say
But that did not matter, Ma
Who has destroyed my song so much?

Who has twisted the meaning so much, Ma
Who has twisted the meaning so much?
Every word they interpreted wrongly
And they gave applause for it
Who has destroyed my song so much?

I wish for a dream - to dream
I wish for a dream
If a dream had ever made me happy
Then I would never have woken up
And wouldn't have found my song destroyed


They have changed my song, Ma
They have changed my song
It's the only thing I can do
And that's not good Ma
They have changed my song

Who has destroyed my song so much, Ma
Who has destroyed my song so much, Ma?
I wanted to sing
What I can never say
But that didn't matter, Ma
Who has destroyed my song?

Perhaps I'll understand soon, Ma
Perhaps I'll soon say okay
Someday tears will be equal to victories
Then I'll be really rich Ma
Who has destroyed my song so much?

Soon it's time to understand Ma Ma
Soon it's time to understand
If one day all the tears became money
How rich this world then would be
Who has destroyed my song so much?
Soon it's time to understand Ma Ma
