Himmel auf [English translation]

He bears thousands of crosses throughout the day ¹

365 days of the year

12 hours are shown on his face

It’s okay, but it isn’t right

Every morning he walks through that door

Every morning the question remains, what for

And every day slips through his hands

And hits head-on against the wall

Isn’t there a little piece of happiness

Somewhere out there for me?

Somewhere, the light promises an end to the tunnel

He wants so much, but it isn’t a lot

Just a little piece of happiness

When will the heavens rip open?

Also for me, also for me

When will the heavens rip open?

Also for me, also for me

When will the heavens rip open?

Also for me, also for me

When will the heavens rip open?

Also for me, also for me

Tell me, when will the heavens rip open?

When will the heavens rip open?

It feels like life in paradise

When the perfect poison is shot into her veins

She forgets everything that seems so cruel

The cold sky and cold Berlin

She’s not welcome in this town, ‘cause

Our social safety net didn’t catch her, ‘cause

The devil is close at hand ²

Life has never been easy for her

Isn’t there a little piece of happiness

Somewhere out there for me?

Somewhere, the light promises an end to the tunnel

She wants so much, but it isn’t a lot

Just a little piece of happiness

When will the heavens rip open?

Also for me, also for me

When will the heavens rip open?

Also for me, also for me

When will the heavens rip open?

Also for me, also for me

When will the heavens rip open?

Also for me, also for me

Tell me, when will the heavens rip open?

When will the heavens rip open?

When will the heavens rip open?

When will the heavens rip open?

When will the heavens rip open?

When will the heavens rip open?
