Alles was zählt English translation
von Namika

They give me 81 years here
50-hour weeks, a workhorse
I smile for, like, 13 minutes per day
And take a holiday every other summer
Have 1.5 children on average
And 45,000 gross per year

Is that all that counts?
Somehow I can't feel it
All that counts?
I could never handle numbers, yeah
And always when the day passes me by
I notice how much I miss you
I believe that one can't count
Everything that counts


My wristwatch has counted every step
And says I should go faster, or else it will be too late
And reminds me to take a gulp of water
I searched seven times for the word 'meaning'
And Amazon recommended this book to me
But where's the meaning, when we two don't see each other?

Is that all that counts?
Somehow I can't feel it
All that counts?
I could never handle numbers, yeah
And always when the day passes me by
I notice how much I miss you
I believe that one can't count
Everything that counts

They've broken me down into
Six senses and 212 bones
Tell me, when the heart no longer beats, who works out the value?
They've broken me down into
30 billion cells and 212 bones
But the one heart beats and longs for more


Is that all that counts?
Somehow I can't feel it
All that counts?
I could never handle numbers, yeah
And always when the day passes me by
I notice how much I miss you
I believe that one can't count
Everything that counts

And always when the day passes me by
I notice how much I miss you
I believe that one can't count
Everything that counts
