Man -

Hold on to the world strongly.

Embrace it

And do good for all.

 

Don't fall and decline into the abyss,
Life is beautiful, look up to the heavens.

Man, in the world.

Let's raise up our hands,

And keep our fingers crossed

For the good there is in this world.

Man, in the world.

 

Man -

Hold on to the world strongly.

Embrace it

And do good for all.

 

May the world go on, and continue to turn

May you be filled with the heart's desire

  of the people

Human being, in the world.

Therefore adopt the world into your heart

And kiss the lips of the one you love

Man, in the world.

 

Man, human being

Hold on to the world strongly.

Drink from the cup and leave nothing over

Rinse yourself clean of every bitter taste

Man, human being.

Know how to give in and to forgive all.

Embrace the world, and go out to join the dance.

Man, in the world.

 

A b y s s . . .

Look up to the heavens . . .
