Where does my path lead me?

The land is cold, the fields empty
The wind in the woods blows bare trees back and forth
The birds move out, go to the south
Everything’s white and snow falls softly, then bears go to sleep
They do what their hearts decree1 and give in to it2
If only3 I was exactly the same then I’d know
Who I am!
 
But where does my path4 lead me?
So many voices go through my mind
But which (one) tells me who I really am?
What will happen?
Where does my path lead me?
 
I learnt much and lived freely
I made the choice, the farewell broke my heart in two
The path5 becomes hard to find
So wildly confused, the destination6 is up to me alone
Everything that was familiar to me no longer fulfils me7
Yes I want a new goal, I wish for it so much

 
But where does my path lead me?
So many voices go through my mind

• 1. literally “what their hearts teach them”
• 2. literally “give themselves in to it”
• 3. ”doch” here adds emphasis
• 4. literally “way”
• 5. I have used “path” here to be consistent with the chorus (in which to use “way” wouldn’t be particularly clear)
• 6. literally “whereto it leads”
• 7. literally “fulfils me no more”
