Ja das wars [English translation]

I've bathed in the sun

I've showered with rain

I've found hope

I've searched for life

I've broken laws

I've cursed the rules

Every step is a new attempt at walking*

Climbed high mountains

Fallen in deep valleys

Gotten rewarded for good deeds

And paid for the mistakes

Sometimes it was all for nothing

Sometimes it was phenomenal

A cry of joy or a call for help?

Because sometimes

The burden on my shoulders gets so heavy

And I ask myself:

Was it worth everything?

And I think: Yes, it was

Yes, it was

Yes, it was

Yes, it was

I was in the deserts

And I swam in the oceans

Still I travelled further

To grow closer to myself

We've borne children

We've gotten grandchildren

Every step is a new attempt at walking

I've often cried in the beginning

And then won at the end

Somewhere, I've taken my fate

In my own hands

And I'll keep singing

And when I'll get pensions,

A cry of joy or a call for help?

Because sometimes

The burden on my shoulders gets so heavy

And I ask myself:

Was it worth everything?

And I think: Yes, it was

(And it always is, again and again)

Yes, it was

(And it always is, again and again)

Yes, it was

(And it always is, again and again

Yes, it was

Yes, it was
