Das Jahr in dem ich schlief [English translation]

1. Verse:

On the other end of this line it ends

The world and with it all what we knew

We tried it, lost it, understood it and sold it

Never looked back even when we ran backwards.

Bridge 1:

Today this is all I know,

every little step has its price

every little step hurts terribly

when you notice that everyone else is walking in the opposite direction!

Chorus:

That was the year of big gestures

the newborn, half-decayed

Everything was the same, just double deep

This was the year is which I slept

That was the year of big gestures

the newborn, half-decayed

Everything was the same, just double deep

This was the year is which I slept

Oliver Rohrbeck* - spoken:

Copper, albums, airplanes, handkerchiefs

There's much more behind it than you can admit now.

And that you can't do that, that is a good thing.

Because there are big questions.

How much life fits in here anyway?

More than anyone expected.

And if you could see it with your own eyes, you wouldn't believe it.

You think and dream that life's so tiny that it fits through the doorway and finally comes out.

Everything's better than what was, we'll see.

Here it's lousy cold and too bright for someone who resents looking in the mirror!

2. Verse

At the other end of this line it starts

the consolation and everything we consider to be

You want sympathy, because you do what you can

look to the future, but everything remains the same

Bridge 2

Today this is all I see

every little step hurts terribly

every little step has its price

when you don't know anything about out there, despite all the wanderlust

Chorus:

That was the year of big gestures

the newborn, half-decayed

Everything was the same, just double deep

This was the year is which I slept

That was the year of big gestures

the newborn, half-decayed

Everything was the same, just double deep

This was the year is which I slept
