Biotopia [English translation]

Everyone carries his biotope1 around with him

like an aura, apparently invisible living space

I look, the view sheltered by the thick canopy.

to the borders that come ever closer as the edge of the desert

So thin and gentle, a skin of weak film over us

so impenetrable but at the same time so easily destroyed

No matter how close we stand,

we are nevertheless actually completely alone in this world that belongs to us

We can see each other and hear the voices

Each one an island in the endless sea

Forgotten to fly and can't swim,

their wings pierced, armed with barbs

I am a pariah

I climbed the highest mountain in Biotopia

Awaited the dawn, the glimmer of hope,

year after year.

Welcome to Biotopia

I still keep an eye out and I'm still waiting

...for you.

Everyone carries his biotope around with him,

which he covers himself with like a coat for protection

In my garden I hear singing and it sounds

as though the air is full of nightingales' calls

The molecules between us are galaxies

impregnable, which is why unbindableness reigns

which is why we glow for such a short time

Each one freezes alone in the husk of its being

We can see each other and hear the voices

Each one an island in the endless sea

Forgotten to fly and can't swim,

their wings pierced, armed with barbs

I am a pariah

I climbed the highest mountain in Biotopia

Awaited the dawn, the glimmer of hope,

year after year.

Welcome to Biotopia

I still keep an eye out and I'm still waiting

...for you.

Everyone carries his biotope around with him

A paradise, a spot of rainforest inundated with strength

So easily drowned in the smog between inhumanity

we are like straws against the rolling asphalt

I am a pariah

I climbed the highest mountain in Biotopia

Awaited the dawn, the glimmer of hope,

year after year.

Welcome to Biotopia

I still keep an eye out and I'm still waiting

...for you.
