Alles ist erleuchtet [English translation]

The pale moon creeps thru the window

(It's) too bright for my eyes

But I see my movie though

Let it play in reverse again

Stuff my dreams in a suitcase

(and) unpack lost wishes.

Sleeplessly, I hear you breathing loudly

And then I carefully get out of bed 1

Then I write my story

From scratch, and without any anger 2

There is a chapter about you in it 3

The curtain falls, one step forward.

And everything is illuminated

Never before was there so much light

Still asleep, I see you in the darkness

I know only one

I can't do it

(I'll) smoke one last cigarette

(And) I'll realize what I'm now searching for

Now we need an end

(I'll) say goodbye and wave at you

The morrow approaches out there 4

Where I go, there is no plan

I see a road before me

And I know it is my path

It is my path

It is my path

It is my path

For I want to see the whole world

Not just a part or a piece of it

Sooner or later, I'll end up going too far 5

I'll write you a postcard wishing you luck

Now I know our tale

Who we are, where we come from

Maybe there is still another chapter

(Or) perhaps the page still remains blank

And everything is illuminated

Never before was there so much light

Still asleep, I see you in the darkness

I know only one

I can't do it

(I'll) smoke one last cigarette

(And) I'll realize what I'm now searching for

Now we need an end

(I'll) say goodbye and wave at you

The morrow approaches out there

Where I go, there is no plan

I see a road before me

And I know it is my path

It is my path

It is my path

It is my path

(I'll) smoke one last cigarette

(And) I'll realize what I'm now searching for

(I'll) say goodbye and wave at you

Now we need an end

(I'll) say goodbye and wave at you

The morrow approaches out there

Where I go, there is no plan

I see a road before me

And I know it is my path (Never before was there so much...)

It is my path (There was never so much...)

It is my path (There was never so much...)

It is my path (There was never so much...)

Never before was there so much...

Never before was there so much...

Never before was there so much...

Never before was there so much...

Never before was there so much... LIGHT!
