Leichtes Gepäck [English translation]

One day you'll realize

That you don't need 99%

You take the extra weight and throw it away

Because it's better to travel with lightweight luggage

You look around in your living space

You see a cabinet of absurdities

You see the result of purchases and purchases of things you think you'll one day need

You see all the clothes that you've never worn and

that you never will wear

But they remain by you

So many spiderwebs and

So much junk

So much stress in Tupperware containers

And one day you'll realize

That you don't need 99% of it

So you take the extra weight

And throw it away

Because it's better to travel with lightweight luggage

With lightweight luggage

Not only a small plastic court, even

The army is made of scrap and neuroses

Grows on your soul

Ever hangs, ever more often

Bloodsucking

at your throat

How awesome the idea

To get rid of everything

Everything in a heap

With fuel and tinder

And it blazes

And burns so beautifully

A fire that can be seen for kilometres

And one day you'll realize

That you don't need 99% of it

So you take the extra weight

And throw it out

Because it's better to travel with lightweight luggage

With lightweight luggage

Starting today

Only the important things

Starting today

Only the important things

Starting today

Only the important things

Starting today

Only lightweight luggage

And one day you'll realize

It's not much what you truly need

So you take the extra weight

And throw it away

Because it's better to live

So much better

With lightweight luggage

All the dirt from yesterday

All the scars

All the bills lying around open for too long

Let them go,

Throw them away

Because it's better to travel

With lightweight luggage
