Ich laufe [English translation]

I held all the happiness in my hands

or at least what was within my grasp

and (though) I tried to turn the page,

haven’t had any luck again.

One says that all the happiness in the world

lies before our eyes.

But how often we deceive ourselves,

in that, which we see with our eyes.

And I’ll run, I’ll run...away.

I’ll run as fast and as far as I can.

And not until I can feel nothing more,

not until I can feel nothing more...

It’s hard for me to decide

what’s true and what’s a lie,

when the one, who lies to me,

always tells the truth.

We could defend ourselves,

the two of us - you and I.

But the truth is:

we won’t do it!

And I’ll run, I’ll run...away.

I’ll run as fast and as far as I can.

And not until I can feel nothing more,

not until I can feel nothing more...

That everything here isn’t worth it,

I would’ve never really believed it.

If you’ll listen to the voice within your heart,

then maybe you’ll stop me

maybe you’ll stop me.

(Please) stop me!

I’m running as fast and as far as I can.

And not until I can feel nothing more,

not until I can feel nothing more...

I’m running away,

I’m running...away

And not until I can feel nothing more

will I stop. (in the sense of arrival)
