Aschenflug [English translation]

(Prinz Pi)

Ey buddy, the last time we met

there still was a spark in your eyes

but after all these nights

they look like they have been stamped out

For almost half a life

you only sit at bars,

you party the nights away

with everything one can possibly get,

living in a no man's land

Lately you never

let anyone enter, staying at home, shit-faced,

clinging to every glass like to a branch,

I have only one fear, that you have none1

(Sido)

I don't care, I know best what makes me happy

Fragmentary, I lose a piece every crazy night

But everything fine, look at me, I take what I can get a hold of

I start flying and my fantasy goes on

reality goes off and the things that happened, too

Perhaps it's not good for me, but I put up with it

I enjoy live until my body tells me I've had enough

There again is blood on my kleenex

(Chorus: Adel Tawil)

You are on your flight of ashes

Behind you everything burns down

You are on your flight of ashes

Behind you everything burns away

You know you'll never get enough

until no one will be there anymore

You are on your flight of ashes

until the very last day

when no one will ask for you anymore

(Prinz Pi & Sido)

Now hurry up, just a bit until it's over, dude

(No, dude, now shove off, I'm not even interested in that shit

Come one, let's go, this club is lame)

Ey, take a look at yourself, you can't even look straight anymore, man

Let's unwind a bit

(oh don't worry, on we go, the mailman brings another package)

Main thing is that the carousel in your head keeps on spinning

Honestly, everyone here can see that you are on the ropes

(I have experienced everything live what those rock stars talk about, no problem)

No, buddy, your problem is my problem

Now stop going nuts like that, stop taking all that shit

(Whatever, man, I'll continue until my body says: "I have enough")

Soon the monkey will be dead, case closed2

(Chorus)

(Adel Tawil)

You burn so bright

and you burn brighter and brighter

You fall so fast

and you fall faster and faster

(Chorus)

1. either "no fear" or "no girl"2. refers to the idiom "Klappe zu, Affe tot" ("if the lid is closed, the monkey is dead"), which means something like "case closed"
