Kannst Du Es Sehn' English translation
von Vega

See, I wanted to be a role model for those guys back home
At times when they grow tulips from Northern Lights
Where it smells of smoke in side streets, no question
Tell me can you see it?


And I walk out the door, out onto the street
The same way since my legs carried me
And yeah, I didn't mean to rap, what I wanted was your smile
Where red-brown leaves break white sunbeams
And I couldn't get away from here where the linden tree touches the sky
King of the city, it wouldn't have made sense without you
Call me Frustra 'cause I knew how to share
Because I had to, and before I knew how to write
And I never knew how easy it would be, doesn't it work wonders?
I've finally arrived, after a quarter of a century
From a time when Pac was just, just dead
If I stood at the Wholecars at night, I have no more respect for it
A whole country is buying snow-white cars
So as not to feel the dirt
A mindless people, no children full of pride
Remain slaves, the chains are only silver and gold
I can see it

can you see it
Tell me, can you see it?
How the whole world is upside down today
Tell me, can you see it?
Just a moment's smoke about nothing
Tell me, can you see it?
can you see it
Tell me, can you see it?


And she still wakes me up every morning
Hear her voice, but I don't sleep anymore
Open your eyes, outside the sky is still colored in black
I think she's awake already
Your side cold and deserted in bed
Only now do I realize that she's long gone
As soon as steaming water wakes me
Everything lifeless, everything empty here, nothing is magical, no magic
Must when she made it
Realizing that it wasn't my dream at all
I'm a nobody on the assembly line, but a star when I'm out there
Find it crazy that thousands sing my parts when they're sad
I feel numb, everything is numb and I've regretted it too
But now even more so, because I dipped my wings in fire
I'm flying for the last time, it can end so devastating
At some point I either have everything or nothing in my hands
I'm burned inside, there are a hundred evil forest spirits inside me
Sparks dance in the wind like beautiful ball gowns
Because if you're alive, that doesn't mean you're alive
And when you sleep and sleep, it's almost too late for you
I can see it

can you see it
Tell me, can you see it?
How the whole world is upside down today
Tell me, can you see it?
Just a moment's smoke about nothing
Tell me, can you see it?
can you see it
Tell me, can you see it?
