De Hemel [English translation]

When I was little, heaven

was somewhere above in the air

And you could only get there

With the very last train

Everybody was dressed in white sheets

an walked along golden streets

Over squares with fountains

filled with red lemonade

And you flew through white clouds

And an angle held you tight

And you could walk on water

Because the water was made of glas.

Eerybody there was happy

No more hunger

No more pain

If you lived here in misery

There, everything was different.

But I don't know any longer

Where heaven is

I don't know where I go to after this life

Then I saw heaven

With the eyes of a child

But heaven disappeared for good

Heaven diappeared / is gone

I grew older and belived

In another phantasy

And I followed Zarathustra

With a kind of anarchy

When I flew above the clouds

To a country far from here

I did not see any golden gates

Nor did I see there any fountains

And I do not know any more

Where heaven is

I don't know where I go to after this life

Sometimes I see heaven

In the eyes of a woman

But this only lasts a moment

Heaven only lasts a moment
