Müsste gehen English translation
von Clueso

A little girl has a rock
Says: "Look here, he has spots,
Apparently he's sick - for a few days."
Surprised, I ask what he's up to
She says: "How should I know?
You'll have to ask the stone yourself."

I don't think I like the flies here
'Cause even when they're gone
Remain small stimuli on my skin

I find it cheesy to talk about the sun
Like songs about rain
At the moment I'd rather be smart about other things.

It remains dangerously windy
So bright that you even blink in the dark.
I forgot long ago that it was probably different.
White walls catch shadows
Behind you can hear washing fluttering
And only in the evening do we get close.


And at the foot of a street two street musicians merge -
In some places it even sounds nice.

And we exchange our own sentences for those of the other unnoticed,
We've gotten used to ourselves.

And then I sit on the beach.
Stare at the sea as if it were a screen saver
And look for the spot where it all begins again.
Waves are constantly breaking, hitting each other
And it remains exciting, an endless action film.

How to enjoy knowing you're leaving
You have to go all the time, it should go all the time.
How to enjoy knowing you're leaving
So that you start to see everything differently.

I can clearly remember the good times -
Photographed her with my soul.
I close my eyes
And the whole country started waving at us
And I know a part of me stays here.


How to enjoy knowing you're going
You have to walk all the time, it has to go all the time.
How to enjoy knowing you're going
So that you start to see things differently.

I like the last day and everything it shows me
You become so terribly alert to every detail.
