English Translation of the German Lyrics
Music: Johnny Cash
German Lyrics: Günter Loose
It was really best of all at home
But nevertheless I was drawn into the world
And far from home I tried my luck
Who knows the way, the way back
She gave me her love and her heart
But I brought her only tears, suffering, and pain
For I left her and my happiness in the process
Who knows the way, the way back
Who knows the way back to that time
The way back to the past
The way home and to one's first happiness
Who knows the way, the way back
It was really best of all at home...
- From the CD “The Man in Black: The International Johnny Cash”
