Das Leben rast vorbei [English translation]

Life speeds past--

Or am I driving too fast?

Is it already dark, or is it still light?

I am grown up, or am I a child?

Am I just looking at how time trickles away?

Am I in the middle of it, or am I standing on the edge?

Are you a stranger to me, or are we related?

Look at your life!

Does it make sense?

Is it merely wasted? Look closely at it!

In the sky, a star passes by

And an airplane flies to Vienna.

Time goes by as heavy as lead,

I let it pass by,

Faster than sound and faster than light.

You are the arrow in the bow, even if the bow breaks.

Your breath is quickened, your time is too scarce,

And before you turn around, you're already lying in your grave

And before you turn around, you're already lying in your grave.

In the sky, a star passes by

And an airplane flies to Vienna.

Time goes by as heavy as lead,

I let it pass by.

Between night and morning, it's silent

Someone is only now coming home.

The city is quiet, its breath cool

It looks like it's about to rain.
