Jenseits von Eden English translation
von Drafi Deutscher

If even a child no longer laughs like a child
Then we are beyond Eden
If we don't feel the earth crying
Like no other planet
Then we have lived in vain
If a tear is only water
Then we are beyond Eden

If one has to pay for love
Just to be tender once
Then we have lived in vain
Let us feel life endlessly every day
And never lose our honesty
If nothing holds us together anymore
The last light of the world might extinguish

If even a child no longer laughs like a child
Then we are beyond Eden
If we don't feel the earth crying
Like no other planet


If our faith can no longer prevail
Then we are beyond Eden
If every hope is just a horizon
That can never be reached
Then we have lived in vain
I want to feel a new love with you
Even if we only touch in thoughts
Someday I must leave forever

Then I want to say
This world was beautiful
If even a child no longer laughs like a child
Then we are beyond Eden
If we don't feel the earth crying
Like no other planet
Then we have lived in vain
If a tear is only water
Then we are beyond Eden
If one has to pay for love
Just to be tender once
Then we have lived in vain
