These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Woher du kommst, das hast du nie verloren
You never lost where you came from
Was auch passiert, du schaust nach vorn
Whatever happens, you look ahead
Es steht nicht schlecht, aber auch nicht richtig gut
It's not bad, but it's not really good either
Der Zeitpunkt ist noch günstig, dass sich was tut
The time is still good for something to happen
Du kennst das Wort nicht, kaltgestellt
You don't know the word, chilled
Du hast den Anspruch an die Welt, an die Welt
You have a claim on the world, on the world
Bist du da
Are you there
Wenn Seelen verwaisen?
When souls are orphaned?
Bist du da
Are you there
Wenn zu viel Gestern droht?
When too much threatens yesterday?
Wenn wir verrohen
When we brutalize
Weil alte Geister kreisen?
Because old ghosts are circling?
Bist du da?
Are you there?
Herzensbarrikaden
heart barricades
Wer kämpft noch für wen?
Who is still fighting for whom?
Wir meiden die richtigen Fragen, wir streunen ums Problem
We avoid the right questions, we stray around the problem
Du traust dem Impuls und bleibst immer kühl
You trust impulse and always stay cool
Du erlaubst dir nicht, dich zu entziehen
You don't allow yourself to withdraw
Und deine Fassung bringt
And your composure brings
Weil Fassung nichts mehr bringt, nichts mehr bringt
Because composure no longer brings anything, no longer brings anything
Bist du da
Are you there
Wenn Seelen verwaisen?
When souls are orphaned?
Bist du da
Are you there
Wenn zu viel Gestern droht?
When too much threatens yesterday?
Wenn wir verrohen
When we brutalize
Weil alte Geister kreisen?
Because old ghosts are circling?
Bist du da?
Are you there?
Du siehst den Glanz in tausend Augen
You see the shine in a thousand eyes
Gibst einen Teil vom Glück zurück
Give back a piece of happiness
Verschleuderst haltlos dein Vertrauen
You're wasting your trust
Und du zierst dich nicht, du verzierst dich nicht
And you don't dress up, you don't dress up
Zierst dich nicht
Don't dress up
Immer wenn
Always when
Du bist da
You're there
Wenn Seelen verwaisen
When souls are orphaned
Du bist da
You're there
Wenn zu viel Gestern droht
When too much threatens yesterday
Wenn wir verrohen
When we brutalize
Weil alte Geister kreisen
Because old ghosts are circling
Du bist da
You're there
Du bist da
You're there
In gottlosen Zeiten
In godless times
Du bist da
You're there
Und auch sonst rund um die Uhr
And otherwise around the clock
Du tust nichts, um dich zu beweisen
You're doing nothing to prove yourself
Du bist da
You're there
