Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Nur Noch Kurz Die Welt Retten by Tim Bendzko from German to English.

I'd have loved to be there

But I've got way too much to do

Let's talk more later

They need me out there right now

The situation's underestimated

And maybe our lives depend on it

I know you're serious

You can't do without me here right now

Don't worry, I won't stay gone too long

Just gotta save the world real quick

After that I'll fly to you

Check another 148 emails

Who knows what'll happen to me then

'Cause so much is happening

Just gotta save the world real quick

And right after that I'll be back with you

Somehow I'm running late

Go ahead and start dinner

I'll join you later

You ask how, what for, why

I say whoever asks that is dumb

'Cause you don't seem to know what I do

A very special mission

Let me spare you the details

Enough said, enough information

Just gotta save the world real quick

After that I'll fly to you

Check another 148 emails

Who knows what'll happen to me then

'Cause so much is happening

Just gotta save the world real quick

And right after that I'll be back with you

Time's running out on me, waiting

Would be a shame

For the whole world population

I gotta go now or there'll be a huge catastrophe

Can't you see we're in distress

I really gotta save the world now

After that I'll fly to you

Check another 148 emails

Who knows what'll happen to me then

'Cause so much is happening

Just gotta save the world real quick

After that I'll fly to you

Check another 148,713 emails

Who knows what'll happen to me then

'Cause so much is happening

Just gotta save the world real quick

And right after that I'll be back with you

SONG MEANING

“Nur Noch Kurz Die Welt Retten” ("Just Need to Save the World Real Quick") is a witty snapshot of modern life’s super-busy, always-online mindset. Our hero promises to meet a loved one but first claims he must handle a few tiny tasks: preventing a global disaster and clearing an inbox bursting with 148 e-mails. His exaggerated excuses turn an everyday I’m running late into a playful, superhero-style mission that makes us smile.

Beneath the humor, Tim Bendzko pokes fun at how easily we let constant notifications, deadlines, and self-imposed “urgent” duties pull us away from real human connection. The song asks: Are we truly saving the world, or just hiding behind busyness? By the final chorus, we realize the only thing that really needs rescuing is our time together. The track’s catchy melody and tongue-in-cheek lyrics remind us to shut the laptop, skip the heroic excuses, and show up for the people who matter.
