Die guten Tage strahlen [English translation]

Tempted to walk all cramped up again, that will never work.

With my legs asleep I shouldn't go for a stroll.

I've sunk my teeth into things. like a dog with a stick.

With blinders over my eyes, I've also missed the best.

You say: let the wind out of your sails for once,1 it doesn't have to happen fast,

even if you sometimes miss your aim, you won't miss your goal.

Let's not take it too seriously, we've got plenty of ideas.

Even if we sometimes miss our aim, we know:

The good days shine, and they come

when we take our time again and give ourselves space.

The search for meaning makes us almost blind,

because we can't force the things that we're running after,

take our time again and give ourselves space,

take our time again and give ourselves space.

I found you right when I stopped looking.

You gave me lightness and ease and and I'm slowly lifting off.

And sure, there are bad days, when nothing turns out right.

When I almost get on the wrong track, when I numb myself with alcohol.

You say: let the wind out of your sails for once, it doesn't have to happen fast,

even when you sometimes miss your aim, you won't miss your goal.

Let's not take it too seriously, we've got plenty of plans.

Even if we sometimes miss our aim, we know:

The good days shine, and they come

when we take our time again and give ourselves space.

The search for meaning makes us almost blind,

because we can't force the things that we're running after,

take our time again and give ourselves space,

take our time again and give ourselves space.

The good days shine, and they come

when we take our time again and give ourselves space.

The search for meaning makes us almost blind,

because we can't force the things that we're running after,

take our time again and give ourselves space,

take our time again and give ourselves space.
