Flieg ich durch die Welt [English translation]

Everything’s already done and dusted

Everything’s been taken to its destination

Up and down, like on a roller coaster.

Everything’s already been heard – everything’s already been seen

Everything’s now under control, put away,

Buried and sunk.

Everything’s been put into hibernation*

Then you came along -

Now I'm flying through the world

Always on top - always in the middle,

Always into everything,

Always running nowhere.

Always with the fear,

That I'm missing out,

That, suddenly, everything would be

Cleared away, buried, dreamed away.

Sometimes it feels like time stands still.

Then you came -

Now I’m flying through the world.
