Die Kapelle English translation
von Tiemo Hauer

Love is like drinking - moments of fascination.
But when the delirium ends, the dizziness and mockery remain.
Life is like smoking - eventually it will kill you.
But we tell ourselves we need it and don't even ask ourselves why.

Life is one of those things that is surely worth dying for.
We just have to think carefully: are we leaving behind art or shards?


The other day I was sitting in the park and I thought about the first hours in the coffin.
What will happen there? Will it be nice and warm or will I freeze?
Can I still speak or am I too dead?
Or have I been forbidden to speak by the pastor because one does not speak in church?
And do I have a pale face? I dont know! I dont know!

Can I still hear the songs that the band plays that beguile the ears?
And can I still hear the words my daughter speaks that upset people?
And can I still smell the flowers, enjoy the roses up there?
Or will the roots bother me? Please let me hear the band again.
please let me hear you Please let me hear the band again. Please let me hear you!

Life is one of those things that is surely worth dying for.
We just have to think carefully: are we leaving behind art or shards?

Life is one of those things that is surely worth dying for.
We just have to think carefully about whether we inherit happiness or sadness.
