Dieser Weg [English translation]

So I went along this road and it led towards me

The song you sang last night is now playing within me

A couple more steps and there I was1 with the key to this door

This path won't be an easy one, this path is going to be rocky and hard

You won't agree with many people, but this life, it offers so much more

It was just a glimpse, for a moment I didn't pay attention2

Then I took a small step3 and then I realized:

Some may kick you, some may love you, some may give themselves up for you

Some may bless you. Don't set your sail while the wind is quenching the sea4

1. Or "and then I arrived".2. Lit. "I wasn't there"3. As in "A small step for a man...".4. "Aufbrausen" usually means "to flare up (with anger)", here it's an artistic variation referring to "brausender Wind" (wuthering wind).
