Wie versprochen [English translation]

People say you're faster if you just travel alone

And I can count to a hundred with one hand

Strange how this perspective changes the view of everything

You can only imagine the world down there

As promised I'm now standing up here

It's so liberating

You can almost touch the clouds with your hand

I'd like it so much to share it with you (so much)

No new messages from you since December

But I'm enjoying every day, and there's no reception

Tomorrow I'll be back again at the café by the window

Familiar foreign languages nearby

As promised I'm now standing up here

It's so liberating

You can almost touch the clouds with your hand

I'd like it so much to share it with you (so much)

I'm writing a couple of lines on my bill

Taking away their sound

And every thought sinks into the silence of the mountain nearby
