Ganz oben [English translation]

You only went to school under protest

So that you had no use for it

Reports were also rather bad

But today you manage really well

You always wanted to be the biggest

& hear how thousands screamed your name

(When) you are by any chance at times not brilliant

(Then) you try tomorrow to be so again

How out of them all, how out of them all

Did you hear the old chant

& then it would become to you clear again

that yesterday everything else was different & then it occurred to you again

(that) at that time you were still really small

You will someday be right at the top

When you want, when you really want it

Ganz oben, ganz weit oben

Die ganze Welt hat festgestellt du machst dich nicht mehr klein

Now you have travelled about in the world a lot

Drunk on Pan Am, dined with princes

Have met people that don't exist (2) don't exist or no longer exist (ie dead)?

Some have you despised & some loved

Staying put is not your thing

Everyday again you take up the fight

simply so you will go to ground

Then you can at least see the stars

I'll later just be a trumpeter, I an insurance agent

I'll be a formula 1 driver, I hopefully not just an idiot

It doesn't matter what tomorrow is, it doesn't matter what tomorrow is

Wenn du willst, wenn du's wirklich willst

Ganz oben, ganz weit oben

Du machst dich gro? die Leinen los

Und alle sehen es ein.
