Du federst [English translation]

You don’t have much baggage,

just a few dreams

The opposite of burden

Is three old friends

And the outlook is good

And summer’s coming again

The girls from the city

Shed their winter coats

And the most beautiful eyes –

Were still the honest ones

And a kiss which you never let go of –

And wore for days

And the nicest doors –

Were always the revolving doors

Where you run beautifully in a circle –

or just get stuck!

Oh, you bounce - through the world

You bounce – as if you could take flight

As if you could beam bright

Ohohoh, you bounce off the tarmac

You bounce back

What runs awry you can straighten out

What you dream you can bring about

And you don’t think of death

And you don’t think of warfare

Ey, what is 1 million

Against 2 lips full of fervor

You squander your money

And your home loan savings

Come build a little house

in the middle of my psyche

And the most pleasant paths –

Were always the ones less traveled on

Nicely disoriented and - without a lead

And the most beautiful eyes –

Were always the glassy ones

Because you know that they are true and –

Will dry again

Oh, you bounce - through the world

You bounce – as if you could take flight

As if you could beam us bright

Ohohoh, you bounce - off the tarmac

You bounce back

What runs awry you can straighten out

What you dream you can bring about

What you dream you can bring about

And the most beautiful eyes -

Were still the honest ones

And a kiss which you never let go of –

and wore for days

Oh, you bounce - through the world

You bounce

As if you could take flight

As if you could beam us bright

Ohohoh, you bounce off the tarmac

You bounce back

What runs awry you can straighten out

What you dream you bring about
