Heimweh (Brennend heißer Wüstensand) English translation
von Freddy Quinn

So beautiful, beautiful was the time
So beautiful, beautiful was the time

Burning hot desert sand
Far, so far from the homeland
So beautiful, beautiful was
No greeting, no heart
No kiss, no joke
Everything lies so far, so far away

There where the flowers bloom
There where the valleys are green
There I was once at home
Where I found my dearest love
There lies my homeland
How long will I be alone?

So beautiful, beautiful was the time
So beautiful, beautiful was the time


Many years of heavy toil
Hard work, meager wages
Day in, day out
No luck, no home
Everything lies so far, so far away

There where the flowers bloom
There where the valleys are green
There I was once at home

Listen to me, you golden stars
Greet the loved ones from afar
With joy and sorrow
Time flows away
Everything lies so far, so far away

There where the flowers bloom
There where the valleys are green
There I was once at home
Where I found my dearest love
There lies my homeland
How long will I be alone?
