Wie man es auch dreht [English translation]

The sun shines into an old house

I'm drawing circles over grey dust

The traces which I draw, it eats them up

I throw you up and I catch you

Do you sometimes ask yourself about the greater meaning,

Where we go and who we are?

That we are standing with one foot in the water

And prefer to go down dancing

Whichever way you look at it, the only thing that matters at the end: We were alive!

What really carries us is that which loves, is that which lives

The summer night surrounds the old house

Chains of light are reaching the sea

The people arrive until the garden is shaking

The music is loud and my heart

Even if the sun will rob us of the night very soon

We dance as long as the record plays

Until we will one day stand in the water

And go down secretly kissing

Whichever way you look at it, the only thing that matters at the end: We were alive!

What really carries us is that which loves, is that which lives

We have stolen happiness, we turn it up and talk loud

Until the clock has stopped, maybe too early, but we were alive

We have lived

We have kicked each other

We have vowed each other

We turn it up, we are living loud

Sleep can wait for now

Or else we might run out of time

Instead of money we have stolen happiness

Come on, let's turn it up, we are living loud

Whichever way you look at it, the only thing that matters at the end: We were alive!

What really carries us is that which loves, is that which lives

We have stolen happiness, we turn it up, we live loud

Until the clock stops, maybe too early, but we have lived

Whichever way you look at it, the only thing that matters at the end: We were alive!

What really carries us is that which loves, is that which lives

We have stolen happiness, we turn it up and live loud
