Ganz oben [English translation]

When you went to school, you did so under protest

It wasn't quite for you

Your grades were quite bad as well

But today you get through life pretty well

You always wanted to be numer one

And hear a thousand people scream your name

If you happen to be out of sorts

You'll give it another try tomorrow

Like from outer sapce (like from outer space)

You hear the old chant

And then you realise again

That everything used to be different

And then you remember

That you started from scratch

Chorus:

One day, you'll be at the very top

(If you want it, if you really want it)

One day, you'll be at the very top

(At the top, athe very top)

The whole world has found out

That you won't hide your light anymore

One day, you'll be at the very top

Now you've travelled the world

You boozed with bums, you dined with princes

You met people who don't even exist

You despised some of them and you loved some of them

Standing still is not your thing

Every day, you go back into the ring

From time to time you'll be knocked down

At least you'll get to look at the stars

Like from outer sapce (like from outer space)

You hear the old chant

Chorus:

One day, you'll be at the very top

(If you want it, if you really want it)

One day, you'll be at the very top

(At the top, athe very top)

The whole world has found out

That you won't hide your light anymore

One day, you'll be at the very top

Children:

One day I'll be a trumpeter

I'll be an insurance salesman

I'll be a formula 1 driver

I hope I won't be an idiot

No matter what happens tomorrow

No matter what happens tomorrow

No matter what happens tomorrow

No matter what happens tomorrow

One day, you'll be at the very top

(If you want it, if you really want it)

One day, you'll be at the very top

(At the top, athe very top)

The whole world has found out

That you won't hide your light anymore

You will stand in the light

Cast off

And everybody accepts it

One day, you'll be at the very top

(If you want it, if you really want it)

One day, you'll be at the very top

(At the top, athe very top)

The whole world has found out

That you won't hide your light anymore

One day, you'll be at the very top

(If you want it, if you really want it)

One day, you'll be at the very top

(At the top, athe very top)

One day, you'll be at the very top

(If you want it, if you really want it)

One day, you'll be at the very top
