[start] [Intro: Bright accordion riff with brass accents, stomping polka rhythm in 2/4] [Verse 1] Running barefoot through the fields Dreams were treasures we could yield Golden summers, endless skies Shining laughter in our eyes [Chorus] Jugendglanz, oh never fade Youthful joy, forever made Wir tanzen, wir lachen, wir singen laut Jugendglanz, our hearts unbowed [Verse 2] Chasing rivers, climbing trees Carried by the gentle breeze Every day a brand-new song We were fearless, we were strong [Chorus] Jugendglanz, oh never fade Youthful joy, forever made Wir tanzen, wir lachen, wir singen laut Jugendglanz, our hearts unbowed [Bridge: Brass fanfare, ensemble singing] Time may take us far apart But youth still burns inside the heart Like the stars that guide our way Its light will never stray [Chorus] Jugendglanz, oh never fade Youthful joy, forever made Wir tanzen, wir lachen, wir singen laut Jugendglanz, our hearts unbowed [Outro: Accordion + brass fade, rhythmic clapping] [end]
