Dafür ist das Leben zu kurz [English translation]

I succumb to confusion

Thoughts that drag me down

and consume my strength

Then my legs don’t support me

and I indulge in self-pity

Dismissal is so comfortable

Attractive dizziness similar to drugs

When I’m not sober again

My legs don’t support me

And I have to cry

I don’t give up

I never give up - for

Refrain:

Life is too short for that

Life is too beautiful for that

And I don’t feel that old

And I run and I take good care of myself

I take good care of myself

I upset myself and let myself go

Today I only want to misunderstand you

I could say something sweet to you

But alas I don’t want to compromise

I’m the hero of my life

I can give or take

I can hate myself and others

I can miss the last train

And keep you again from sleeping

Refrain

Life is Love

Life is Duty

Life is Opportunity

And that I do not decline

Life is Love

Life is Beautiful

Life is Opportunity

And I don’t let that escape me - for

Refrain
