Das Mädchen mit den erloschenen Augen English translation
von Kastelruther Spatzen

She left home

Without a single word.
Because in her heart she believed:
They'll never understand me here!
She was fed up with life in the country

And she was drawn to the city.
The opportunity
To go today

Was so beautiful for her.

The girl with the extinguished eyes
No longer knew her way out of despair.
And for the first time in a long time
She thought of home again!

She soon had enough friends

Because she was so beautiful

And she believed everyone immediately

And so it went on and on.
She also tasted the poison


That made her dreams more beautiful.
She was promised
The world
Would look much more beautiful afterwards.

The girl with the extinguished eyes
No longer knew her way out of despair.
And for the first time in a long time
She thought of home again!

This freedom has its price

She needed more and more of the money

She even sold herself

It was hell in this world.
Her eyes no longer shone

She no longer wanted to enjoy anything
Like a miracle, she found her way home

Her parents could forgive her.

The girl with the extinguished eyes

Was happy in life again and so glad.
Her eyes were as beautiful as before
And she knew she would never leave again.
