Wort du bist Gedankenelement
Word you are thought element
Kannst Illusion sein, die verbrennt
You can be an illusion that burns
Bist unbegreiflich
You are incomprehensible
Wenn man dich begriffen nennt
When you are called intelligent
Wort du trägst so vielerlei Symbol
Word you carry so many symbols
Bist in Ideen Weltenpol
You are a world pole in ideas
Kannst überladen sein
You can be overloaded
Und auch bisweilen hohl
And sometimes hollow too
Wort du bist so leise und so sacht
Word you are so quiet and so gentle
Dabei hast du die größte Macht
You have the greatest power
Die diesen Erdenball umschließt
That surrounds this globe
Und ihn regiert
And rules him
Wort du wirst geflüstert und zitiert
Word you will be whispered and quoted
Du bist der Leit'strahl, der uns führt
You are the guiding light that guides us
Hast Krieg und Frieden schon diktiert
You've already dictated war and peace
Wort du hast so vielerlei Gestalt
Word you have so many shapes
Und bist so unerreichbar alt
And you're so unattainably old
Kannst glühend heiß sein und so kalt
You can be burning hot and so cold
Wort du wirst mißbraucht und kommandiert
Word you will be abused and commanded
Hast Diktatoren dirigiert
You directed dictators
Und ganze Völker schon verführt
And entire peoples have already been seduced
Wort bist du auch manchmal rigoros
You are also sometimes rigorous
Und triffst uns wie ein Degenstoß
And hit us like a sword
Denn deine Wirkung ist nicht
Because your effect is not
Nur im Guten groß
Great only in good things
Wort du bist so zärtlich und so warm
Word you are so tender and so warm
Dein Klang nimmt uns in seinen Arm
Your sound takes us into its arms
Du bist die Brücke
You are the bridge
Die die Menschen näherbringt
That brings people closer
Wort du wirst melodisch, wenn man singt
Word you become melodic when you sing
Bist ein Signal, das in uns dringt
You are a signal that penetrates us
Du bist die Symphony, die nie verklingt
You are the symphony that never fades away
