The caring hands are always close to me,
They have gladly helped me over and over again:
Both at rough times,
And in long partings,
Or simply, commonly,
Just as they do now.

Life can be hard at times, with things not going well,
At times we spoil our Life over various trifles.
And when we rush through Life
Without looking back,
Our caring friends
Hold out a helping hand!
And when we rush through Life
Without looking back,
Our caring friends
Hold out a helping hand!

When your Heart is heavy and your Soul is cheerless,
And a pleasing word is so greatly anticipated,
The friends all around
Will reach out their hands,
And you will be warmed
By their true Hearts!

Friendship among us, believe me, is a common thing!
Friends will not get to asking who is right, and who is wrong,
And each one will certainly
Give you a helping hand,
And, forgetting any offence,
Will tell you: “Hello, Brother!”
And each one will certainly
Give you a helping hand,
And will surely tell you:
“Forgive me, it was my fault!”
