Heute hier, morgen dort [English translation]

Here today, there tomorrow

Am barely here, gotta go

Never complained about it

I chose that myself

Never counted the years

Never questioned about "here" or "there".1

At times, I dream badly

And then I think,

It's time to stay, and now...

Do something way different

Time passes year by year

And it has long been clear to me

That nothing stays... that nothing stays...

As it was.

I'm hardly missed

Even forgotten after a few days

If I am gone for a long time already,

It won't bother or worry me.

Could it be that my appearance...

Is kept in the mind of one or another?

At times, I dream badly

And then I think,

It's time to stay, and now...

Do something way different

Time passes year by year

And it has long been clear to me

That nothing stays... that nothing stays...

As it was.

If someone asks, why...

Am I like this, I'd keep quiet,

For the answer to that is difficult for me

For what is new will become old

And what applies yesterday will not be the same "here" or "there".2.

At times, I dream badly

And then I think,

It's time to stay, and now...

Do something way different

Time passes year by year

And it has long been clear to me

That nothing stays... that nothing stays...

As it was.
