Hinter der Tür [English translation]

When you were a child

curiosity in the eyes

There was always a door

that stayed closed

Some day it opened

You looked forward to it so much

But you weren't there

anymore, kid

And then, at twenty

you noticed

the path that went steeply up

It stays blocked for you

and also in love, there was

a door in the end

So you knew

that it had to come open soon

A secret's laying behind the door

And it will set you free

And you imagine

you'll be dazzled

and enchanted

So behind the door

you can find everything

Wonder and disappointment

But you'll find it out just

when you're over there

And then much later

without fear

You stand before your last door

But what happens then?

There might be eternity

or also the end

But you are ready

for the last step that stays

A secret's laying behind the door

And it will set you free

And you imagine

you'll be dazzled

and enchanted

So behind the door

you can find everything

Wonder and disappointment

But you'll find it out just

when you're over there

A secret's laying behind the door

And it will set you free

And you imagine

you'll be dazzled

and enchanted

So behind the door

you can find everything

Wonder and disappointment

But you'll find it out just

when you're over there
