Wir sind am Leben English translation
von Rainhard Fendrich

As long as confidence
Is still a little stronger than doubt,
As long as someone breaks the silence
And does not forget the injustice,

We are alive,
We are alive.

As long as someone stands, with heart and mind,
And bravely holds their ground
Against the herd that pushes toward the abyss,

We are alive,
We are alive.


The goals remain distant
And seem to matter less and less,
But as long as someone sees a way out,
No matter how steep and narrow,

We are alive,
We are alive.

As long as there is still laughter
That sometimes breaks through the tears,

We are alive,
We are alive,
We are alive,
We are alive.
