Ich laufe [English translation]

I held all the happiness in my hands

At least it was within my grasp

And as I tried to turn the tables

I failed again.

They say that all the happiness in this world is right before our eyes

But it happens quite often that

We are deceived by what we see.

And I'm running. I'm running. Away.

I'm running as fast as possible and as far as I can go

And only after my feelings are gone, only after my feelings are gone...

I find it hard to discern

Between truth and lies.

If those who lie to me

Always tell the truth.

We could actually struggle

Both of us, you and me, you and me. But still the truth is

That we're not doing it!

And I'm running. I'm running. Away.

I'm running as fast as possible and as far as I can go

And only after my feelings are gone, only after my feelings are gone...

The fact that everything here is worthless

Is something that I really couldn't believe

If you can hear the voice in your heart

Maybe you'll hold me back

Maybe you'll hold me back

Hold me back!

I'm running. As fast as possible and as far as I can go

And only after my feelings are gone,

Only after my feelings are gone

I'm running away

I'm running away,

And only after my feelings are gone,

Will my destination be reached.
