Nur Zu Besuch Lyrics in English Die Toten Hosen

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Nur Zu Besuch by Die Toten Hosen from German to English.
Every time I visit you
I feel boundless
Everything else is so far away from here
I like the quiet here
Among all the trees
As if peace on earth really existed
It's a beautiful path
That quietly leads to you
I like it
Because it seems so bright and friendly
I brought flowers
Don't know if you like them
Back then you'd probably have been really happy
If you don't like them
Don't worry about it
They'll surely be taken away again soon
How I'm doing, you ask that every time
I'm okay, don't want you to worry
And so I talk to you like always
As if it were like before
As if we had loads of time
I feel you really close here with me
Can hear your voice in the wind
And when it rains I know you sometimes cry
Till the sun shines
Till it shines again
The others say hi
They all still think of you a lot
And your garden, it's really doing well
Though you can tell it misses you a lot
And mail still keeps coming
Big and bold addressed to you
Even though everybody knows you've moved away
And so I talk to you like always
And I promise you
Someday we'll have loads of time again
Then we'll see each other again
You can make sure, if you want
That the sun also shines on my grave that day
That the sun shines, that it shines again

SONG MEANING

Nur Zu Besuch paints a tender scene: the singer is making a quiet pilgrimage to the grave of someone he loved dearly. As he walks along the bright, friendly path and lays down flowers, he talks to the departed just like he used to, sharing everyday news about friends, gardens, and letters that still arrive. In this tranquil spot, everyday worries feel “so far away”, and he can almost hear the loved one’s voice in the wind or the rain. The visit turns the cemetery into a place of surprising peace where memories breathe and time seems to pause.

Beneath its gentle melody, the song explores how we keep bonds alive even after loss. It shows grief not only as sadness but also as conversation, humor, and hope: Don’t worry, I’m okay… We’ll have plenty of time again someday. This promise of a future reunion lets the music balance melancholy with warmth, reminding us that love continues to shine—like the sun the singer asks to glow on both their graves when they meet again.
