When I was young
I was so alone
And did not know why
How I missed you
My Jewish companions
My friends of the past
of a different future
without this hate
and this killing
I was so alone
And when I knew why
I searched and I found you
My dear companions
Restoring to you
in our homeland
in Germany
the place which is yours
And then I started
to speak to you
tried to fill the chasms
to heal the wounds
to ease the pain
And found
no comfort
because you are gone
And try
to live
with this
