Mitten unterm Jahr [English translation]

You greet life with a smil

As broad as the Nil

You're not interesting in winning

You're interested in the game

You might be the exception

Because you preferably compete with yourself

I can only anticipate how you feel

When suddenly you don't stand above it anymore

At first everything seems to be clear to you

And then suddenly it snows

At the middle of the year

You know exactly the world is like

One sees it

And (you know) how one

Changes things that went awry to good again

You're strong enough to be small sometimes as well

And you only feel at home in your own body
