One day you notice
That you don't need the 99%
You take all the ballast
And throw it away
Because one travels better
With light luggage
You look around in your flat, you see
A cabinet of nonsense, you see
The result of buying and buying things
That you think you might need someday, you see
So many clothes that you
Have never worn and that you
Will never wear and
Yet they remain at your place
Too many spider webs and too much junk
Too much old stuff in tupperware
One day you notice
That you don't need the 99% of that
You take all the ballast
And throw it away
Because one travels better
With light luggage, with light luggage
Not only your little
Court of plastic, also
The army of scrap and neuroses
On your soul grows
More and more, hangs more and more often sucking blood on your throat
How great it would be, the idea of getting rid of all that
All into a heap with lighting gel and tinder
And it flames and burns so beautifully
A fire still to be seen kilometers away
And one day you notice
That you don't need the 99% of that
You take all the ballast
And throw it away
Because one travels better
With light luggage, with light luggage
From today, only the important things
From today, only the important things
From today, only the important things
From today, only light luggage
Then one day you notice
It is little that you really need
So you take all the ballast
And throw it away
Because one lives better
So much better
With light luggage
All the dirt from yesterday
All the scars
All the bills that lay around unpaid for way too long
Let go of them, just throw them away
Because one travels better
With light luggage
