Hinunter bis auf Eins [English translation]

Three, two, one, go

I already believed it as a child,

And I spread out my wings

I wanted to defeat gravity

I dreamed that I could fly

I'm ready to take that great leap,

And I count backwards to one

I extend them, my wings,

And jump from the highest point in the world

I dreamed that I could fly

And that the wind carried me this time

Three, two, one

I forge myself a flying machine

Which will carry me into the sky

I feel time and how it pushes me,

When the abyss lies at me feet

On the edge of the summit,

I count backwards to one

I extend them, my wings,

And jump from the highest point in the world

I dreamed that I could fly

And that the wind carried me this time

I let myself fall, down into nothingness,

Freed from all that surrounds me

I extend my arms in a great feather-dress,1

And I count backwards, backwards to one

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six,

Five, four, three, two, one

I extend them, my wings,

And jump from the highest point in the world

I dreamed that I could fly

And that the wind carried me this time

I let myself fall, down into nothingness,

Freed from all that surrounds me

I extend my arms in a great feather-dress,

And I count backwards, backwards to one

Three, two, one, out
