Ich wollte nie erwachsen sein [English translation]

I never wanted to grow up

I've always defended myself

Outwardly I got as hard as stone

and yet I was often hurt.

Somewhere deep within me

I remained a child

Only when I cannot spot it anymore

I know that it's too late for me,

too late, too late.

Down there on the bottom of the sea

where all life is forever silent

I still can see my dreams

The air rising from out of the depths

Somewhere deep within me

I remained a child

Only when I cannot spot it anymore

I know that it's too late for me,

too late, too late.

I slide through the darkness

and await the morning light

Then I play with the sunbeam

that breaks through the water like silver

Somewhere deep within me

I remained a child

Only when I cannot spot it anymore

I know that it's too late for me,

too late, too late.
