You high time was long ago
And also the height lies behind you
There isn't much left of glory and glamor
Tell me who still raises his hat for you?
But me
I know the people I know the rats
The stupidity that cries to heaven
I stay with you by light and shadow
Every time
At all times
It just can't be helped
That's where I come from, there I belong
There the ice melts from my soul
Like from a glacier in April
Even if we forgot it long ago
I'm your apple, you my stem
Like your water running down into the valley
Irresistible and so bright
Almost like the tears of a child
Then my blood suddenly starts to rush
Standing at the edge of the world, I proudly say
And if you want, even all alone
I am from Austria
I am from Austria
Often the storks were to envy
Today I fly even further
I only see people from afar
Who can understand how that sometimes hurts
It just can't be helped
That's where I come from, there I belong
There the ice melts from my soul
Like from a glacier in April
Even if we forgot it long ago
I'm your apple, you my stem
Like your water running down into the valley
Irresistible and so bright
Almost like the tears of a child
Then my blood suddenly starts to rush
Standing at the edge of the world, I proudly say
And if you want, even all alone
I am from Austria
I am from Austria
I am from Austria
