4-9-6 Millionen Lyrics in English by Jupiter Jones
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song 4-9-6 Millionen by Jupiter Jones from German to English.
Einsamkeit, du Klinkenputzer
Loneliness, you door-to-door salesman
Klopf' heut' nich' an meine Tür
Don't knock on my door today
Ich sag's dir Traurigkeit, du alte Töle
I'm telling you, Sadness, you old b*tch
Heb' dein Bein mal nich' an mir
Don't lift your leg on me
Ich brauch' jetzt Licht am Ende des Tunnelblicks
I need light at the end of this tunnel vision
Brauche Breitwand-Liebe und Reserveglück
Need widescreen love and reserve luck
Ich brauch' das
I need that
Jetzt hebt die Gläser für die Zeit
Now raise your glasses for time
Auf ihre Zuverlässigkeit
To its reliability
Und auf: „Egal,ich bin bereit'
And to: "Whatever, I'm ready"
Bitterkeit du Phrasendrescher
Bitterness, you windbag
Heut' ist jemand anderes dran
Today it's someone else's turn
Oh, Schlaflosigkeit, du Meistersänger
Oh, Insomnia, you master singer
Heul' den Mond woanders an
Howl at the moon somewhere else
Dann wird der Regenbogen eben überspannt
Then the rainbow will just be overstretched
Bis dann jeder hier vor Freude nur noch kotzen kann
Until everyone here can only puke from joy
Ich kenn' das
I know that
Jetzt hebt die Gläser für die Zeit
Now raise your glasses for time
Auf ihre Zuverlässigkeit
To its reliability
Darauf dass sicher ist, das gar nichts sicher ist
To the fact that what's certain is that nothing's certain
Und auf: „Egal,ich bin bereit'
And to: "Whatever, I'm ready"
Jetzt hebt die Gläser für die Zeit
Now raise your glasses for time
(Jetzt hebt die Gläser für die Zeit)
(Now raise your glasses for time)
Auf ihre Zuverlässigkeit
To its reliability
(Auf ihre Zuvelässigkeit)
(To its reliability)
Darauf das sicher ist, dass gar nichts sicher ist
To the fact that what's certain is that nothing's certain
Und auf: „Egal,ich bin bereit'
And to: "Whatever, I'm ready"
Wir stapeln hoch und fallen weich
We stack high and fall softly
Es bleibt am Ende immer gleich
In the end, it always remains the same
Bin ich auch vier, neun, sechs Millionen weit entfernt
Even if I'm four, nine, six million miles away
Nach Haus hat's jedes Mal gereicht
It's been enough to get home every time

Did you like this lyrics translation?
Klinkenputzer — door-to-door salesman / canvasser
Klinkenputzer literally translates to "doorknob polisher" or "door-to-door salesman". It's a wonderfully descriptive and somewhat old-fashioned German compound word that isn't commonly found in song lyrics.
In this song, the band Jupiter Jones personifies "Einsamkeit" (loneliness) as a Klinkenputzer, telling it not to knock on their door. This creative and slightly humorous imagery makes the word memorable and gives a unique character to the abstract concept of loneliness.
