"Die Welt ist klein geworden,
so winzig klein geworden,
ein schöner Ball mit dem Du gerne spielst.
Sie ist ganz Dein geworden und allgemein geworden.
Und wartet ab wohin Du mit ihr zielst."
Now
the world is small, so tiny and small
A beautiful ball you love to play with.
It is all yours, and for all of us.
Just wait and see what your goal is.
Translation

"Die
Welt ist weit geworden" - words and music by Kurt (Curt)
Bry - became famous through the performance by Dora Gerson
(1899-1943).
You can witness the intense performance by another great artist,
Dora Paulsen (1898-1970), on Philips PL 12936 - 12" Lp
- for which Curt Bry rewrote part of the lyrics to reflect
modern times.

According
to Webster's New World Dictionary Second College Edition (1970)
the word sound has three meanings.
Sound of course is the vibration that can be sensed by the body
and can be picked up by the ear. The myriad combinations of
vibrations, the varying intensity and the changes in time make
up music.
Sound also means the mental and spiritual well being, and the
well functioning of the body.
There is a third meaning of the word and that is 'opinion'.
