Viel erlebt English translation
von Tiemo Hauer

When you wander the streets
And ask you what you live for
And what is missing here day after day
And what of what you achieve
So in the end remains.

All the broken hearts
All the nights alone
All the jokes, all the pain
All that "dumping drunk"
All the laughing, all the whining
The "constant-in-circles-race"

what i saw
Touched me a lot
Everything I wanted to feel
I have felt
But everything I wrote
Is what's left of it.


The experience
The recognition
That burn for nothing
The winning
Lose that
The burning
The freezing
The forgiveness
the hurting
Betting on the wrong horses
The allowed and the forbidden
The stolen from the dead
The feeling of being a hero
After just one bottle of wine
Lose that
The perishing
Demonstrate and Hide
The forgiveness
The trying
The falling in love
The curse
The contempt
The adoring
To explain and say to relatives:
What I want is not the world
I keep still
And all that money means nothing
When you don't need it
I don't need it...

And even if you smile at me now
Ignore my words
Are you the first to regret
Because you'll resign before long
And find that the life you live
And the aspiration you want
will never make you happy
Because all this comes up when you die
Because all this comes up when you die!
