Was wirklich bleibt [English translation]

Life is heaven

Liefe is hell

You build your happiness on sand

then comes the wave

Every day in your life

the wind might change its way

and anything gives you the strength

to get back up again

What are the things you will remember?

What are the things you will remember?

And then you look back

back

to the things that really stay

we are not having endless time

tell me what really stays

and then you look back

back

to the shadows and the lights

we dont have endless time

tell me what really stays

Sometimes you feel like a stranger

at the most beautiful place on earth

sometimes you are simply happy

when just the rain is falling

Time keeps going on and on

it pulls you up

it pulls you down

but

what are the things you will remember?

And then you look back

back

to the things that really stay

we are not having endless time

tell me what really stays

and then you look back

back

to the shadows and the lights

we dont have endless time

tell me what really stays

Da da da da da da

Da da da da da da

Da da da da da da

What did bring us this far?

what di makes us who we are?

What is it that will really stay?

I want to remember you

And then I look back

back

to the things that really stay

we are not having endless time

tell me what really stays

and then I look back

back

to the shadows and the lights

we dont have endless time

tell me what really stays

back

back

to what really stays

we don't have endless time

And then you look back

to the shadows and the lights

we dont have endless time

tell me what really stays
