Lebenszeit [English translation]

Two are sailing all seas,

Two are sailing in one boat.

One of them knows the stars,

The other one casts the lead.

Can't be put asunder, will stay united,

Whether night falls, or morning breaks.

They'll find one another –

For LIFE.

Two are climbing high mountains,

Two are reaching for the sky.

One of them looks at the world,

The other one sees the light.

Still the earth lies flat on the palm,

They’re near the clouds and kindred.

And stick together –

For LIFE.

Two are walking loud streets,

Two are walking through bricks and smoke.

One of them is challenged by work,

The other one by hassle.

Yet days will come that you don’t count,

Things were already decided and chosen.

But they have one another –

For LIFE.

Two are sitting in the shadow yet,

Are sitting there on a bench.

One of them feels tired,

The other one feels sick.

Yet everything in life is said,

Yet everything in life is ventured.

They stuck together –

For LIFE.
