Lebensweg [English translation]

My way didn’t always go straight

There were ups and sometimes downs as well

My heart never beat for well prepared paths

When it was easy, I simply changed the direction

I didn’t always know where I went

Rarely I was interested in the ‘How’

Certainly I often turned wrong

But I never became bent

I’m a storm

Am afraid of calm periods

A black sky without a single star

I’m a fool

And have brutal fun

Am often marvelled at, but nobody likes to see me

My spirit was free, I had no sense of decency

I also didn’t think of norms and morals

I was famous but nobody knew me

I mostly didn’t care about people who liked me

I carried burdens, mine and those of other people as well

Didn’t take anything easy, but I never sank to my knees

Didn’t stay true to myself, But I didn’t cheat myself

And I didn’t ever lie to myself.

I’m a storm

Am afraid of calm periods

A black sky without a single star

I’m a fool

And have brutal fun

I’m a storm

Am afraid of calm periods

A black sky without a single star

I’m a fool

And have brutal fun

Am often marvelled at, but nobody likes to see me

I would like to know what remains of me

Who will think of me when I’m gone

Who will sing my songs in my heart

Does my life make any sense

I’m a storm

Am afraid of calm periods

A black sky without a single star

I’m a fool

And have brutal fun

I’m a storm

Am afraid of calm periods

A black sky without a single star

I’m a fool

And have brutal fun

Am often marvelled at, but nobody likes to see me

I'm a storm
