Elefant [English translation]

It's you who taught me to dream without the need for sleep

To step into darkness without the need for fear

To ride a bicycle without the need of my hands

Even when I thought that I couldn't

You showed me that life isn't black-and-white

That there isn't only right and wrong

And that I'm not alone

It's because of you that I know what love is

You sat with me in my fortress

Built from blankets

With the book about the elephant

And a glass of cocoa

And when this world becomes too big for me to handle

And it all starts to well up inside me

Life can be so stupid

That's when I think back to that time

And when I start to question myself

And it all starts to well up inside me

I dream of being sat on your lap,

With that blue elephant

Thanks to you I have the courage to question the world around me

And to speak my mind

On grey, rainy days,

I can make myself a paper ship

Through you I learned to believe in tomorrow

To trust in myself

Not to run away when I'm scared

It's because of you that I know what love is

You sat with me in my fortress

Built from blankets

With the book about the elephant

And a glass of cocoa

And when this world becomes too big for me to handle

And it all starts to well up inside me

Life can be so stupid

That's when I think back to that time

And when I start to question myself

And it all starts to well up inside me

I dream of being sat on your lap,

With that blue elephant
