Unerkannt durchs Märchenland [English translation]

Mornings when the sun rises

You lay deep in sleep

You searched for her the entire night

The princess that you love

You only know her from a book

She is beautiful, has long black hair

Where she lives is much too far away for you

She's unreachable, you tell yourself

Evenings when it dawns

You put your boots on

The white horses already stand before your door

Without them you'd have already perished long ago

Because they bring you undetected through the enchanted lands

And your friends are still waving at you

Before your castle, because you are the prince

Mornings when the sun rises

You suddenly wake up

Something awakened you early

You rub your eyes

And nearly turn around again*

Are you dreaming, or is this reality?

The wind blows calmly through her hair

She's smiling and simply just standing there
