22 Jahre [English translation]

I only ever wanted to go to the sea

I was stubborn and could not lose

I cried when you left I've told you nothing

I sit at dinner with red eyes, I say nothing again

I haven't listened to you, I was mute and I didn't dare

And I was absent again on the weekend

You were awake and you picked me up at night then

Because I didn't know, what I'm capable of, I started to sing

Because I did not know, what I was capable of, yes

It will be soon twenty two years

Since I'm happy that you are there

It's been twenty two years now

Since I'm happy that you are there

Twenty two years

Twenty two years

I only ever wanted to go to the sea

I was stubborn and could not lose

I'm on the way, ring me up late, when you already go to bed

If you ask me where I am, I don't really know myself

You don't know how glad I am to come over to your place

You're still living in our town, where everything remains as it is

Luckily you also stay

Because I didn't know, what I'm capable of, I started to sing

Because I didn't know what I'm capable of, yes

It will be soon twenty two years

Since I'm happy that you are there

It's been twenty two years now

Since I'm happy that you are there

It will be soon twenty two years

Twenty two years

Thanks for the twenty two years
