Alles auf Hoffnung [English translation]

Tell me, am I thinking too loudly for you,

Or am I speaking too quietly for you?

Isn’t the end of reason

Just the beginning of our journey?

And the knowledge of the last conclusion

Just a reason for many questions?

Isn’t life too easy

To be such a heavy weight on one’s shoulders?

I don’t have the answers

But believe me, I’ll make the bet (for you) …

Everything on hope, all that remains

Let everything change

Yet, there’s still the two of us

Boundlessly wide and infinitely deep

The beginning of all that’s good (is that)

I know that you exist

That you exist

You’re always like a light

For all the difficult hours

And the walls that hold me back

You have, long since, overcome

And most of the time you are more

Than fits inside my purportedly empty brain

Yet, nothing is as easy

As all the things you’ve shown me

You’re the way for me

Believe me, I’ll make the bet (for you) …

Everything on hope, all that remains

Let everything change

Yet, there’s still the two of us

Boundlessly wide and infinitely deep

The beginning of all that’s good (is that)

I know that you exist

When a doubt tears you apart

And you don’t dare

Because time trips you

And everything changes

I’ll make the bet (for you) …

Everything on hope, all that remains

Let everything change

Yet, there’s still the two of us

Everything on hope, all that remains

Let everything change

Yet, there’s still the two of us

Boundlessly wide and infinitely deep

The beginning of all that’s good (is that)

I know that you exist

That you exist

That you exist

What I have to say to you

Is what I have to ask you

Did you ever know

That love has no questions?

It is and remains unconditional

It pretends being small and loves you big

Did you know (then)

That this love is in charge?
