Kurz vor Abflug [English translation]

Hey

You're excited and distracted, but it's okay

You've thought of everything, and the rest, that's solid1

Come on, look forward to what is waiting for you, you will see it

Stars are coming out of their hiding places and you go

Just talked about it, already it's time

Just talked about it

Shortly before your plane takes off

There is the hour that you still have

Enjoy the moment before your path

Shortly before the journey begins

Everything is timed, in a space without time

Enjoy the moment by yourself

Only here people have almost nothing to tell each other in so many languages

And at the gate the wanderlust already doesn't hurt anymore2

Just talked about it, from here on out it's easy

Everybody in line understands

Shortly before your plane takes off

There is the hour that you still have

Enjoy the moment before your path

Shortly before the journey begins

Everything is timed, in a space without time

Enjoy the moment by yourself

1. Colloquially, "das steht" (lit.: it stands) means something along the lines of: it's solid, it's been planned, you don't have to worry about it.2. Fernweh ("wanderlust") literally means "distance-pain", a yearning for distant places, so the "hurting" makes more sense in German
