Original lyrics
Translation

Alleria

Happiness

Time passes and, what does it do?
Everything grows [up] and goes away.
Time passes, and you
do not love anymore.
I just want the sun to warm1 my soul.
I just want an hour to remember2.
 
Happiness, you want to forget – for a while –
That you just need happiness,
God knows how much you’ve suffered.
The need to scream grows:
You’re not to blame,
You just wanted to give:
And happiness goes away.
 
Time passes and, what does it do?
If my voice will change,
Time passes, and you do not believe anymore,
no no no.
And the only things that remain are the ones you don’t want.
You expect nothing [in return] because:
You know that time passes, but don’t want to grow up.
 
The need to scream grows:
You’re not to blame,
You just wanted to give:
And happiness goes away.
