Das Paradies [English translation]

[1st verse]

There was enough for everyone and everyone was satisfied with themselves

No depression and no self-deception

Nobody had to drown there in the Mediterranean Sea

Nobody was sleeping on the pavement in winter

I did not see one patriarch, the bullshit was over

No bodyshaming, no baiting and violence

No boxes1, all chances were equal

The people were happy there and nice

[1st Pre-Chorus]

At the entrance, it said "Peace"

Come in and enjoy

The air there was clear

The sky (was) turquoise

[1st Chorus]

It was paradise, paradise paradise

Only in my dreams

I was in paradise, paradise, paradise

Please don't wake me up

It was perfect there

Simply because nobody was lost, broken or lonely

It was amazing there

Simply because nobody acted like an asshole there

[2nd verse]

I saw LGBTQs, rabbi and iman,

preasts and freaks having a barbecue on the lawn together

No poor, no rich, men women equal in terms of money

On the planet circling lonely around the sun

Nobody was done, there was no frustration

No built-up anger that was targeted at someone

There it didn't matter where you came from or what you looked like

But what things you did

[1st Pre-Chorus]

At the entrance, it said "Peace"

Come in and enjoy

And love who you love

[1st Chorus]

It was paradise, paradise paradise

Only in my dreams

I was in paradise, paradise, paradise

Please don't wake me up

It was perfect there

Simply because nobody was lost, broken or lonely

It was amazing there

Simply because nobody acted like an asshole there

[1st Chorus]

It was paradise there, paradise paradise

Only in my dreams

I was in paradise, paradise, paradise

Please don't wake me up

It was perfect there

Simply because nobody was lost, broken or lonely

It was amazing there

Simply because nobody acted like an asshole there

[Bridge]

And you were back with me

And everything had been forgiven

We had to cry out of joy

The light was like floating

[2nd Chorus]

It was perfect there

Simply because nobody was lost, broken or lonely

It was amazing there

Simply because nobody acted like an asshole there

It was paradise, paradise paradise

I was in paradise, paradise, paradise

It was perfect there

Simply because nobody was lost, broken or lonely

It was amazing there

Simply because nobody acted like an asshole there

1. "Keine Schubladen" actually means "No drawers". This refers to the German idiom "jemanden in eine Schublade stecken" (literally "to put someone in a drawer") which means that you categorize people by their looks, origin, sexuality, etc, and that you have certain prejudices. Similar to English idioms like "to put someone in a box" or "to put someone in a pigeonhole".
