365 Tage [English translation]

I ask myself much too much and perhaps also too often

Although it doesn't change anything and I hope anyway

Shortly before the end1 I didn't take2 the (final) step

(I) always believed "now its almost done"3

And every night I lie awake

And ask myself what I should say

And every night I imagine

That someday4 it will simply happen

I've already waited 365 days - eternally long

Completely out of breath

In the last 52 week (my) head so often burst5

And now it has simply happened (oh-oh)

It simply happened (oh-oh)

After 365 days it simply happened, simply happened

I ask myself much too much and perhaps also too often

I believe I can change that in which I quietly hope

Somehow I have enjoyed the chaos

But slowly it drove me crazy6

And every night I lie awake

And ask myself what I should say

And every night I imagine

That someday it will simply happen

I've already waited 365 days - eternally long

Completely out of breath

In the last 52 week (my) head so often burst

And now it has simply happened (oh-oh)

It simply happened (oh-oh)

After 365 days it simply happened, simply happened

(Uh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohh)

(Uh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohh)

I've already waited 365 days - eternally long

Completely out of breath

In the last 52 week (my) head so often burst

And now it has simply happened (oh-oh)

It simply happened (oh-oh)

After 365 days it simply happened, simply happened
