Du lebst [English translation]

Dark grey is the asphalt of your youth

Dark grey is the stone on which you fell

Dark grey is the mist of longing in which you're immersed

When you lie on wet stones

[Refrain:]

But you're alive, you're alive, and you only have this one chance

You're alive, you're alive, even if it was sometimes different

Cruel is the memory of a life

Cruel is the hardship you feel

Cruel is the mist of memory in which you're immersed

When hardship surrounds you again

[Refrain:]

But you're alive, you're alive, and you only have this one chance

You're alive, you're alive, even if it was sometimes different

Grey are the walls that you built for yourself

From all the stone on which you fell

Raw, but you have become strong

Because fortunately you heart is not made of stone

[Refrain:]

But you're alive, you're alive, and you only have this one chance

You're alive, you're alive, even if it was sometimes different

You're alive and you only have this one chance

You're alive, you're alive, you're alive
