Josie English translation
von Peter Maffay

When others are happy, she is sad
And her friend is the night
And she often dreams for days
With the wind when it comes from the south
And longing sounds in her voice when she laughs

She has a dress made of sunshine
And doesn't dare to wear it
And only secretly, when no one notices
You can see her walking in it
And something inside her almost wants to burst

Josie, Josie, the time has come
Forget the girl dreams
And get ready
The day goes to sleep in the evening
And wakes up as morning
But the child of yesterday
Is now slowly becoming a woman


With every look in her mirror
Two eyes look back questioningly
And her friend, the wind, is suddenly silent
And no dream is like it used to be

And at night she feels so alone
With each day she feels it more
And doesn't dare to wear it
And there's no one there
To help her understand herself
And something inside her almost wants to burst

Josie, Josie, the time has come
Forget the girl dreams
And get ready
The day goes to sleep in the evening
And wakes up as morning
But the child of yesterday
Is now slowly becoming a woman


Josie, Josie, the time has come
Forget the girl dreams
And get ready
The day goes to sleep in the evening
And wakes up as morning
But the child of yesterday
Is now slowly becoming a woman

Thank you!
