Tausend Jahre sind ein Tag [English translation]

Do you know how many stars there are

And where the rivers go?

Tell me why rain falls down,

Where is the end of this world?

What was here a thousand years ago?

Why can you ride a bycicle?

Are clouds faster than the wind?

So many questions has a child...

Oh child, stop with the questions

You're too small for something like that

You're still far from ready

There's no hurry

What is time? - What is time? - What is time?

An instant

An hour strike

A thousand years are one day!

How does the human become a glutton,

Those who have everything still get discount

And where did the lust for money come from?

How did the hunger of the world come?

Why does someone come into suspicion

Just because he's wondering about something?

Are you still free if you don't risk anything,

Yes, what a young person asks...

Hey, young people, what is this?

And you should accomplish something first!

You will get clever sometime

That's what the time brings...

What is time? - What is time? - What is time?

An instant

An hour strike

A thousand years are one day!

Na, na, na - Na, na, na ...

Is this world even allowed?

The earth is soon robbed,

The water is dead, the land defoliated,

The sky airtight screwed...

The beautiful lie from Goodwill,

The pretty game of the Overkill,

And when are you going to arm the weapons?

If I may ask that even once...

It will be like this,

And who will ever forgive us?

I beg you, ask as long as you are,

You are the time...

What is time? - What is time? - What is time?

An instant

An hour strike

A thousand years are one day!

Na, na, na - Na, na, na ...
