Alle rennen [English translation]

All run, all trot,

all do something.

All of us want, all want to have

a huge fun.

All need, all carry

a stipulated dress.

All rush, all hunt, all are

in the free time stress.

All run,

all wheeze,

all struggle

all jump,

everything moves

and turns

round about:

ever faster, ever higher, more and more!

And I, I just would like to sit in the grass,

to see the ants carry the crumbles

and lizards, which scoot in the gaps of wall,

dragonflies which stand still on pond

the woodlousels with thin, small legs,

that drag their heavy body at home.

Jogging? Now I'd rather not and no energy drink that peps up my old bicycle to a bike

All need, everyone is looking for

action and entertainment,

all swearing, all book

but the next trip.

Surf, skate and snowboarding,

falling from the bridge on rope

gaudy designed hordes

on the search for the Kick.

All trekking

as the crazy,

all quilt

as the mentally deficients.

climbing

On the boards

it brings total:

becoming more and more expensive, more and more color, more often to the hospital!

And I, I just would like to lie around on the beach,

feeling the warm sun on my skin,

hearing the waves , seeing as the seagulls fly

and do nothing at all and not quickly.

I'll let mussels and sand slip through my fingers, a glass of wine

by my throat, cool and dry.

I know, with me, because you can not win a tournament

and no cup and no sand castle competition.

All of us want, all must

always greet someone being there, visible, kiss someone,

in relationship seminar

and in the Flamenco troops,

in the belly dance therapy

in the self experince groups

in the cool galleries,

T-shirt painting,

paying the bill

content search

and pancakes

Give the Batik-

problems

a sense.

Always hip, always pinball machines, always hopper, always popper,

increasingly emboldened and zeitgeist:, nevertheless!

And I, I would like just to taste the rain,

to feel the wind to see the clouds

and mythical creatures and discover faces in them

and if you go, then only idle abaout

I am trying to see myself as dead, to cancel and to shift

to hear the time drop, the source dries up.

I would like just to live and love you,

because my only real talent is found in that
