English Translation of the German Lyrics
Music: Johnny Cash
German Lyrics: Joachim Relin
Where is home, Mama
On the big road
Where is home, Papa
Perhaps here on this road
But this road is so long, is so endlessly long
I can't see the end and I'm afraid
Perhaps I'll find you, find my home
On the big road
Where is home, Mama
Behind the blue mountains
Where is home, Papa
Perhaps behind these mountains
But the mountains are high, I seek the way
Who will lead me there, and who knows the path
Perhaps I'll find you, find my home
Behind the blue mountains
Where is home, Mama
In the green valleys
Where is home, Papa
Perhaps in these valleys
Please come let us go there
They say the valleys are blooming, it's all so beautiful
Perhaps I'll find you, find my home
In the green valleys
Where is home, Mama
In the bright stars
Where is home, Papa
Perhaps there in this star
The way there, it's surely very far
Almost a complete eternity
Perhaps I'll find you, find my home
In the bright stars
Up in the bright stars
