Zugvögel [English translation]

[Verse 1]

They gather together on fields

Where the fog still basks in the morning light

Their new feathers shimmer

And the water beads across them

While the day breaks

And then they ascend

After an unseen signal

Fly, bird, fly...

[Chorus:]

And we look into the sky

It's imminent

During every year upon this spot at the same time

The migrating birds make a V in the sky

And we stare at them until we can't recognize the V anymore

Before long, they block out sun

Fly in circles, searching for their direction

5 Billion with the same goal

We're a little like the birds

Over mountains and rivers

We don't fly because we can,

But rather because we need to

[Chorus]

[Verse 1]

[Chorus]

And the birds will fly until they are sure

That they feel something in the cold wind beneath them

That this region here

Is their home

For a while, until the next time the fall begins

Until the fall begins

Until the fall begins
