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
