Oh, strange is this world Well, still it seems There's so far so much evil And strange it is that since long ago Man despises man. Oh, strange this world Of human affairs Sometimes I'm ashamed to be in it Oh, so oftena man can k** With a bad word or still a knife. But most people are of good will I - thanks to them - believe That this world should never, never die And now, the time has come The final time for hatred, for hatred To destroy itself.
