Nur Ihr Allein Lyrics in English by In Extremo

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Nur Ihr Allein by In Extremo from German to English.
Hinter mir könnt ihr sie sehen
You can see them behind me
Die Strolche lernen aufrecht stehen
The rascals learn to stand upright
Auf unserer Vagabundenreise
On our vagabond journey
Da regeln wir's auf unsere Weise
We settle it our way
Wir prassen bis die Nacht zeronnen
We feast until the night is gone
Bis Blut und kleine Knochen kommen
Until blood and little bones come
Danach in dunklen Ecken weilen
After that, we linger in dark corners
Und wie die Diebe Beute teilen
And like thieves, share the loot
: Ihr nur ihr allein
You, only you alone
Konnt ein Teil des Ganzen sein
Could be part of the whole
Ihr könnt vor eurem Leben fliehen
You can flee from your life
Oder mit uns um die Hauser ziehen
Or roam around with us
Ihr nur ihr allein
You, only you alone
Konnt ein Teil des Ganzen sein
Could be part of the whole
Aus diesem Grund sind wir erschienen
For this reason, we've appeared
Wir sind verehrt und angespien
We are revered and spat upon
Herausgeputzt an hohen Tafeln
Dressed up at high tables
Hört man uns vom Reichtum schwafeln
One hears us babble about wealth
Zu dienen ist uns eine Qual
Serving is torture for us
Ein Strick am Hals der kratzt nun mal
A rope around the neck that just scratches
Und dafur hassen uns die Neider
And for that, the jealous hate us
Doch nachts da klau'n wir ihre Weiber
But at night, we steal their women
Wir machen's wie die Sonnenuhr
We do it like the sundial
Wir zahlen die heiteren Stunden nur
We only count the happy hours
: Ihr nur ihr allein
You, only you alone
Zarte Liebe ist uns heilig
Tender love is sacred to us
Doch wir haben's meistens eilig
But we're mostly in a hurry
Denn wer nicht kommt zur rechten Zeit
For whoever doesn't come on time
Der muss sehen was ubrig bleibt
Must see what's left
: Ihr nur ihr
You, only you
Auferstanden aus Ruinen
Risen from ruins
Werden wir verehrt und angespie
We are revered and spat upon

Vagabundenreise — vagabond journey / tramp's journey

Vagabundenreise is a compound noun that literally translates to "vagabond journey" or "tramp's journey". It's a vivid and evocative word that immediately paints a picture of a life lived outside conventional norms.

In the context of In Extremo's song, it perfectly encapsulates the band's rebellious and free-spirited image. It speaks to a life of wandering, adventure, and living by one's own rules, which is a central theme of the lyrics. This word is far more interesting than a simple "journey" and captures the essence of the song's narrative.
