Astronaut deutsche Übersetzung
von Sido feat. Andreas Bourani

I lift off
nothing keeps me on the ground
everything pale and grey
didn't fly for too long
like an astronaut


We walk around fed up (lit. with our snouts full)
the heads are empty
sit in dirt up to our necks
have holes in our heart
drown worries and problems
in a cup full of wine
with smile of stone
we don't know any better.
Tomorrow we've already forgotten who we were yesterday
we've all stuffed ourselves and forgot to pay
leave everything standing and lying for more ash and dust (money)
we all want that it fits, but we don't pay attention
the voice of reason fell silent
we don't hear it anymore
because sometimes we have the feeling, we don't belong here
there is no back and forth (lit. forwards and back) anymore only below and above
one out of 100 million
a small speck on the ground

I lift off

I lift off
nothing keeps me on the ground
everything pale and grey
didn't fly for too long
like an astronaut
I see the world from above
everything else fades in the blue

I've lost time and space up here
like an astronaut


In the dark of the night
it's so peacefull up here, but down there it's kicking off
we all contribute, but break under the burden
we hope for god, but missed the miracle
we're always building higher, until it reaches infinty
almost 8 billion humans but the humanities' missing
from up here suddenly all that doesn't matter anymore
from up here you don't see borders and the skincolour
all this noise around me is silenced
I don't hear you anymore
slowly I have the feeling, I belong here

there is no back and forth anymore, only below and above
one out of 100 million
a small speck on the ground

I lift off
nothing keeps me on the ground
everything pale and grey
didn't fly for too long
like an astronaut

I see the world from above
everything else fades in the blue
I've lost time and space up here

Like an astronaut

Oh oh oho hoo
Like an astronaut
Oh oh oho hoo

And at the sight of this beauty, I remember everything again
aren't we actually alive, to love and to be?
Here I would like to stay forever
but I am a blink of an eye
that, after 5 billion years, isn't capable to be much more

I lift off
nothing keeps me on the ground
everything pale and grey
didn't fly for too long
like an astronaut
I see the world from above
everything else fades in the blue
I've lost time and space up here
like an astronaut
Oh oh oho hoo
like an astronaut
Oh oh oho hoo
like an astronaut
