Ja wysiadam [English translation]

Someone please stop the world at last! I get off

at the first station, here and now!

Someone please stop the world at last, because I get off.

I don’t want to breathlessly race through life.

Like in a spinning-wheel, I spin passively,

losing the thread and the days,

and some devil keeps telling me: "hurry!"

And yet, life is made to live it,

to ask oneself: "To have or to be?".

And yet, life is made to live it,

before the thread breaks in the spinning-wheel.

Like in a spinning-wheel, I spin passively,

losing the thread and the days,

and some devil keeps telling me: "hurry!"

Someone please stop the world at last! I get off

at the first station, here and now!

I no longer want to compete, I’m running out of energy.

I don’t want to breathlessly race through life.

I’ll be wasting my time, looking for good stars,

watching holes in the sky,

loving you as long as I can.

I don’t mind spending sunsets, dawns and nights at this.

Like in a spinning-wheel, I spin passively,

losing the thread and the days,

and some devil keeps telling me: "hurry!"

And yet, life is made to live it,

to ask oneself: "To have or to be?".

And yet, life is made to live it,

before the thread breaks in the spinning-wheel.
