Translation
As a Pastime
It takes courage, fear and courage,
feeling somewhat absolute and a bit like a background.
Maybe you'll find your star in the night
shining up there.
And it seems weird, but it's not weird,
hopes hanging like leaves on a branch.
While everything is silent, you can't sleep again,
you wait for your dreams.
Again staring at the dark, not even a soul,
and it will be a nightmare or maybe a fable.
Some fear remains,
it almost seems like an old door creaking.
Butterflies on a flower.
Promises made somewhere else
that will come back like oxygen.
You climbed the mountains through the streets.
You hoped they would come true for you as well.
Slowly, you counted them up to three,
those few seconds only to change everything.
As a pastime, you counted all three of them
and for a moment you've gone deep down to the bottom
as a pastime!
As a pastime!
You had courage, fear and courage,
but the sense of balance seemed like a miracle.
You took your life for a stroll inside a suitcase,
it was less grey.
You forbade lifesavers and limits.
The past has left you with bruises
and everything is fair in war, darkness and light.
You told me, 'We're all born free'.
Butterflies on a flower.
Promises made somewhere else
that will come back like oxygen.
You climbed the mountains through the streets.
You hoped they would come true for you as well.
Tired, you counted them up to three,
those few seconds only to change the world.
As a pastime, you counted all three of them
and for a moment you've gone deep down to the bottom
as a pastime!
As a pastime!
As a pastime!
As a pastime, pastime!
(You climbed the mountains through the streets...)
(If there had only been a place for you as well...)
Slowly, you counted them up to three,
those few seconds only to change everything
as a pastime!
As a pastime!
As a pastime!
As a pastime, pastime!
