Unser Buch [English translation]

[Verse 1]

When they were in love, they were kids

And when she was gone he was old

In his head, his heart and agewise anyway

The first time in the cinema

And her hand was cold

She says she stays forever, just like that

Like her picture book that somewhen got lost

A fairy tale nobody cares for

[CHORUS]

I have been reading the book about us

for a thousand times already

And I know

It always ends happily.

The last page is missing,

Though I would never read it, 'cause

From the half of it you are missing

[Verse 2]

He waited for a year and picked her up

One night he stood in front of her door for her

Five minutes of coming out for the eternity

The most beautiful madness was: mad about you

Like a picture book that eventually got lost

A fairy tale which doesn't interest anyone

[CHORUS]

I've got the book of ours

Already read it a thousand times

And I know

It always ends happily.

The last page is missing,

Though I would never read it, 'cause

From the half of it you are missing

[Verse 3]

An old house in the north, to me - we're still up there

Car driving in the garden and strange sounds from the attic

I see us there, I see us there, I see you there

Are you there? Are you not there?

I have been reading the book about us

for a thousand times already

And I know

It always ends happily.

The last page is missing,

Though I would never read it, 'cause

From the half of it you are missing
