Zeit [English translation]

Hour by hour

Day by day

Minute by minute

Blow by blow

Stop the clock hand

It's not supposed to turn anymore

I don't march anymore

No, I simply stop

I can't be bothered with

Marching in step with the others anymore

Life drifts away

A day dies again

At 30 I'm dead

Then at 70 I lie in the grave

What can I still do?

Surely that can't be everything

I want to finally know what it's worth

Being on this goddamned world

Being on this god-, goddamned world

[Chorus:]

Time

I just need a little time

Time to understand

Time

Just give me a little time

To see clearly again

Time,

Oh, give me time

To stand up again
