Ein Leben lang [English translation]

No one but you

Must be in your shoes

What you really want -

You decide it for yourself

They tell you exactly

What is best for you,

Presuming

To know who you are

Be careful, for your dreams

Aren't those of other people's,

And their plan for life

Is devouring you for no reason.

This life is only for you

This life is yours

Don't give it away

Wherever it ends and where it started

Is only up to you

It's the way they perceive things

That makes doubt it.

All I know is that their way

Is not my future

Let's not try

To be exactly like them.

It's time to answer back,

Time for us to shout it out:

This life is only for you

This life is yours

Don't give it away

Wherever it ends and where it started

Is up to you for a lifetime

This life is only for you

This life is yours

Don't waste it

Until the last minute

And from the beginning

It's only up to you.

If you don't take care

It'll simply pass you by

And then you'll wake up in a place

Where you probably never wanted to be.

This life is only for you

This life is yours

Don't give it away

Wherever it ends and where it started

Is only up to you

Our life is here and now,

Out life is everything

The reason (for this) is us

Until the last minute

And from the beginning

It's only up to us

Our life is here and now

(For a lifetime, lifetime)

Here and now

This life is

Only for you
