Tretton År [English translation]

I remember it like it were yesterday,

the time of my dear childhood, although it was a while ago

Although we never thought about

our future, we still had it left

Now that you've grown up,

you sometimes wish that you could have it back

That dear time that existed then

in my safe childhood's bright, young days

[REF:]

Thirteen years old, thirteen years old,

we were only thirteen years old

That was the first time we felt

something inside of us burning,

some sort of feeling that lit up

a fire in the adults

Back then, long ago, there was

no such thing as worry or care

As long as we got to play, we were happy,

we asked for nothing more

Now there are so many dreary

thoughts which fill your heavy heart

And if I could become a child anew

and just forget everything that's happening

[REF(x2)]
