| Scorching hot desert sand, |
| So beautiful | were the old days. |
| far away, so far from the homeland. |
| So beautiful | were the old days. |
| No greeting, |
| no heart, |
| no kiss, |
| no joke, |
| everything lies so far away, so far away. |
| So beautiful | were the old days. |
| Where the flowers bloom, |
| where the valleys are green, |
| I was once at home there. |
| Where I found my beloved, |
| that's where my homeland is, |
| how much longer will I be alone? |

| Many years of hard labor, |
| So beautiful | were the old days. |
| hard work, meager wages. |
| So beautiful | were the old days. |
| Day out, |
| day in, |
| no luck, |
| no home, |
| everything is so far away, so far away. |
| So beautiful | were the old days. |
| Where the flowers bloom, |
| where the valleys are green, |
| dort war ich einmal zuhause. |
| Where I found my beloved, |
| that's where my homeland is, |
| how much longer will I be alone? |

| Listen to me, you golden stars, |
| So beautiful | were the old days. |
| sends greetings to loved ones far away. |
| So beautiful | were the old days. |
| With joy |
| and suffering |
| slips away |
| the time, |
| everything is so far away, so far away. |
| So beautiful | were the old days. |
| Where the flowers bloom, |
| where the valleys are green, |
| I was at home there once. |
| Where I found my beloved, |
| that's where my homeland is, |
| how much longer will I be alone? |
