Zirkus English translation
von Zate

You almost ran away in a rage
The circus has closed, it's time to dismantle the ring again
The make-up is smeared, I can see the wounds coming to light
Can't say what love is because we never stay in one place for long
And I'll write every tear on paper for you
Our script was almost perfect, we're just too bad to play this
Look, we cry where we should laugh, scream where we wanted to clap
We feel alone, although a part of you means my support
Come on, let's go out and pull up facades
Breathless, slowly even sadness seems almost colourful
Breath stops, heartbeat blocked
Feel like 16 in an apartment looking for you
But never found what I was looking for, this love is blind
Argue in chords and see who wins how many
Almost aimless and blind - I love you, darling
Won't ever tell you - never know how long you'll be in town


And when the lights don't shine anymore and the curtain itself falls
Do you have my life as a ring for the roofs of this world
Can't give you anything but my breath
Maybe we should dance while we still have the audience
And when the lights don't shine anymore and the curtain itself falls
Do you have my life as a ring for the roofs of this world
Can't give you anything but my breath
Maybe we should dance while we still have the audience

You almost ran away in a rage
The crowd applauds, everyone loves the crying clown play
I wipe the smile off my face
No bow, my heartbeat so still as if it were whispering
And now we'll break as soon as the pointer hits
Time to go, further and further away, because we don't feel homesick
No problem, I'll tie a rope around my neck
Please tell me again, you're my rope when I fall, hah
I'm really tired of this circus, back and forth
Treating us as if we weren't worth anything anymore
Motionless, like after a stab in the heart
No matter how much you love, look, I love you more
But slowly you move on like the seasons
When even the world turns, how could one place hold you?
The curtain falls, I love you, honey
Won't ever tell you - never know how long you'll be in town


And when the lights don't shine anymore and the curtain itself falls
Do you have my life as a ring for the roofs of this world
Can't give you anything but my breath
Maybe we should dance while we still have the audience
And when the lights don't shine anymore and the curtain itself falls
Do you have my life as a ring for the roofs of this world
Can't give you anything but my breath
Maybe we should dance while we still have the audience
