Bergab [English translation]

Everything went wrong today

Everything is broken

Something was prepared, clarified

however, all that's left is only rubble.

Swiftly and cheerful, you wanted down

The measuring stick wasn't too tall

yet still you fit underneath.

"Why are you greased?"

Your mirror image asks you

Haven't you invested enough?

Haven't you fulfilled expectations?

Sometimes it's so close to you

yet still for some reason

you miss it by a hair.

And you exert yourself

You exert yourself so much

Yet you don't reach it

Do you exert yourself so much?

Sometimes it goes downhill

Sometimes it goes uphill

No ground for surrendering

Sometimes it worked out

And sometimes you fail

But what will happen?

Sometimes it goes downhill

Sometimes it goes uphill

Already experienced it a thousand times

Once you have mulled it

And yet you stand up again

To progress

Everything went wrong today

Nothing worked

Accelerated, pressed

And yet nothing works

Regretted and creased,

You will be sent away from the yard

Your head will be sprinkled there,

your posture is crouched.

"You messed up"

has everyone

overestimated the abilities,

lost the fight clearly?

Sometimes it doesn't matter how you've done it,

since it's simply not your day

and it's obvious, that you won't accomplish it.

And you exert yourself

You exert yourself so much

Yet you don't reach it

Do you exert yourself so much?

Sometimes it goes downhill

Sometimes it goes uphill

No ground for surrendering

Sometimes it worked out

And sometimes you fail

But what will happen?

Sometimes it goes downhill

Sometimes it goes uphill

Already experienced it a thousand times

Today, you've mulled it

And yet you stand up again

To progress
