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

I would have liked to be there

But I have way too much to do

Let's talk more later

They need me out there now

The situation is underestimated

And maybe our lives depend on it

I know you're serious about it

You can't do without me right now

Don't worry, I won't be gone for long

Just need to save the world real quick

Then I'll fly to you

Check 148 more emails

Who knows what will happen to me then

Because so much is happening

Just need to save the world real quick

And right after that, I'll be back with you

I'm running late somehow

Go ahead and start eating

I'll join you later

You ask why, how, what

I say anyone who asks that is dumb

Because you seem to not know what I do

A very special mission

Let me spare you the details

Enough said, enough information

Just need to save the world real quick

Then I'll fly to you

Check 148 more emails

Who knows what will happen to me then

Because so much is happening

Just need to save the world real quick

And right after that, I'll be back with you

Time is running out for me to wait

Would be a shame

For the whole world population

I have to go now, or else there will be a big catastrophe

Don't you realize we're in trouble

I really have to save the world now

Then I'll fly to you

Check 148 more emails

Who knows what will happen to me then

Because so much is happening

Just need to save the world real quick

Then I'll fly to you

Check 148713 more emails

Who knows what will happen to me then

Because so much is happening

Just need to 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.
