Welche Farbe Hat Die Welt

What Color Does the World Have
When I was little, I went to my dad with a coloring book in hand,
and I asked, what color does the world have. What color does the world have?
Is it black or green, is it blue or yellow, is it red
like the roses or brown like the horses,
or is it as gray as the shepherd's large herd?
The sky turns black when a storm threatens,
the harvest is destroyed, and you are left without bread
Yellow is war, our enemy in this world,
Gray is the ash, into which everything falls apart.
What color...
The trees are green, and the grass and the leaves
Trees bear fruit and eliminate the dust
Blue is the sea, that the sun always kisses,
Blue is the sky, that shows you how small you are.
Red is love, it must never fade,
when you grow up, you will understand this
Because if you are without love, then you also lack happiness,
when you find it later, remember my words.
What color...
If you painted the world in blue and green and red
there will never be misery again, every need is gone.
It will then, as we wish, have a smiling face,
so that it never breaks down in colors of sadness!
