Einmal [English translation]

He cannot bear the sayings anymore

You're so young, lift your head, you're gonna be the next

He cannot bear to empty out the mail box anymore

A thousand times we're sorry, we're not employing anymore

Patience has its end

The good belief is worn off by far

Where there is a will there is no way

Self-esteem has almost hit the ground

They're beating foam, he's getting himself through

The biggest part of the open future is meaningless wasted

He doesn't know what keeps him up

Fleeing into hard hope, not all over yet?

One day knowing what it means to be living

On day being part of it

One day something to get him out of the dirt

One day getting rid of pressure

One day standing in the middle of life

Taken seriously

One day seeing a real chance

And getting it, yes, that's it

The red card always in view

Out there, why close out, way too early

The power of youth in a sad drama

A lot of talk, but nothing, traited energy

He only knows life from pictures

The ship of his dreams doesn't let him get on board

One day knowing what it means to be living

On day being part of it

One day something to get him out of the dirt

One day getting rid of pressure

One day standing in the middle of life

Taken seriously

One day seeing a real chance

And getting it, yes, that's it

Why is it always the other

That can't be all of it

One day knowing what it means to be living

On day being part of it

One day something to get him out of the dirt

One day getting rid of pressure

One day standing in the middle of life

Taken seriously

One day seeing a real chance

And getting it, yes, that's it
