2020 [English translation]

If before us is the book of almighty time1

Each new year, a page will appear

You'll learn and see that you don't know anything

The future seems unfathomable

You make a choice, or while giving these up

You fall in love and become disappointed, 'win or lose' --it's the truth

If the future can favor us

Would someone know, if I asked?

What will happen to us, where are we going?2

Time has given and taken from our hands

You go whichever way; where does the path lead?

You're looking into the year 2020

That people are good, that there shouldn't be nuclear bombs

Everything's resolved -- you're just counting on it

That in chemical pollution, all the clean waters shan't be lost

The beautiful planet shall yet remain for us

Don't believe that we'll be living on the moon

It's more likely that a train will be taking us to work in Shanghai

If, at some point, you play together with children

And someone asked you then, how would you answer?

What will happen to us, where are we going?

Time has given and taken from our hands

You go whichever way; where does the path lead?

You're looking into the year 2020

We walk together under those stars

The same sun and wind, the same footpaths below

A little older, wiser, better, but we remain ourselves

What will happen to us, where are we going?

Time has given and taken from our hands

You go whichever way; where does the path lead?

You're looking into the year 2020

We walk together under those stars

The same sun and wind, the same footpaths below

A little older, wiser, better, but we remain ourselves

What will happen to us, where are we going?

Time has given and taken from our hands

You go whichever way; where does the path lead?

You're looking into the year 2020

1. I first had "the book before us is almighty time"?2. lit. "onward to where?"
