Astronaut [English translation]

I take off, nothing holds me on the ground, everything pale and grey

For too long I haven't flown, like an astronaut

We walk around being fed up, the heads are empty

Sitting in dirt up to our throats, having holes in our heart

Drown worries and problems in a cup full of wine

With a stony smile, we don't know any better

We forgot tomorrow already who we have been yesterday

Stuffed ourselves and forgot to pay

Drop everything for more ash (money) and dust

We all want that it's fine, but we don't pay attention

The voice of sanity fell silent for long, we don't hear it any more

Because sometimes we got the feeling we don't belong here

There is no back and forth any more, only below and above

One of a hundred million, a small spot above the ground

I take off!

I take off, nothing holds me on the ground, everything pale and grey

For too long I haven't flown, like an astronaut

I see the world from above, everything else fades to grey

I lost time and space, up here, like an astronaut

In the dark of the night

Up here is everything so peaceful, but down there a lot is going on

We all contribute, but break under the burden

We hope on god, but missed the miracle

We build up and up, till it goes into infinity

Almost 8 billion humans, but the humanity is missing

From up here suddenly it doesn't do anything anymore

From up here one doesn't see borders or the color of the skin

All this noise and nothing falls silent, I don't hear you any more

I start to get the feeling I belong here

There is no back and forth any more, only below and above

One of a hundred million, a small spot above the ground

I take off!

I take off, nothing holds me on the ground, everything pale and grey

For too long I haven't flown, like an astronaut

I see the world from above, everything else fades to grey

I lost time and space, up here, like an astronaut

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Like an astronaut

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

And with the look at this beauty, I remember everything

Aren't we actually alive, to love, to be?

I would like to stay here forever, but I'm a blink

that after 5 billion years isn't capable of more

I take off, nothing holds me on the ground, everything pale and grey

Didn't fly for too long, like an astronaut

I see the world from above, everything else fades to grey

I lost time and space, up here, like an astronaut

Like an astronaut

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Like an astronaut

Like an astronaut
