Froh sein [English translation]

I need to go now

It’s already late, listen up: ¹

If something happens,

we can talk tomorrow,

but today we said

what needed to be said

and tonight I can’t

deal with this anymore, ay.

Call me,

I’m certainly there for you

and no matter what the problem is,

you’ve got a place with me.

And I’d like to take the time

‘cause I want you to know

that the two of us meant something to me. ²

It’s always hard to see clearly in the end

‘cause you need a little space

to understand it all.

Don’t look at me that way.

I need to go now,

I really need to go.

I know you’ll be happy,

if you let go;

when it’s over and done with, ³

I know it’ll be all right

if you let it go,

if you let me go.

I think a new path lies before us,

where each of us now go our own way.

I think it’s all right

if we don’t see each other for a while.

It wasn’t necessarily your fault or mine. ⁴

It’s the many little demons, which you lose against. ⁵

In the end, all the talk is of no use.

Not talking anymore helps us there.

And I know you’ll be happy

if you let go;

when it’s over and done with,

I know it’ll be all right

if you let it go,

if you let me go.

I need to go now,

I need to go now,

I need to go now,

I really need to go,

I need to go now,

I need to go now,

I need to go now,

I really need to go.

I know you’ll be happy

if you let go;

when it’s done and over with,

I know it’ll be all right

if you let it go,

if you let me go.

You’ll be happy

if you let go

when it’s done and over with.

And it’ll be all right

if you let it go,

if you let me go.

A new path lies before us.
