Die Letzte Ballade [English translation]

[Verse 1]

What would I sing about if nobody cares anymore?

When the news displaces everything, ruled by the algorithm

What would I sing about if nobody cares anymore?

What would I sing about if we all lost ourselves in the chaos?

[Verse 2]

Across a sea of ​​plastic that is as big as Switzerland

Or about the fact that so many brothers freeze to death in their own ice

Or about the fact that what happened in Hanau still shocked me today

Or about the fact that murders like this one no longer interest anyone

Because human chains always lose each other after a few hours

[Verse 3]

I'll write ballads at some point

That don't bother anyone anymore

About the last election

And a company that owns everything

What would I sing about if nobody cares anymore?

When books burn again and we all lose ourselves in chaos?

What would I sing about if nobody cares anymore?

[Verse 4]

Songs can't be burned, and they're warm when you're cold

And believe me, I'll sing even if nobody cares anymore

Maybe one day I'll write about the end of the world

The title “The Last Ballad” has, I think, a very good sound
