Zeit bleib stehen! [English translation]

The music's long been turned off,

the band's already at home.

Only I'm still sitting here

with a couple friends,

a couple beers.

There's drinking and laughing

and story telling through out the night

and I lean back for a bit

and savor my joy.

These are the moments

where I, if I could,

I would wish

that they'd never go away.

Dear old times,

stay still for bit,

rest for a while,

because it's so nice right now.

Let us stay in the here and now

Hold up all the clocks,

This is the moment that we want

for the next 100 years.

We haven't seen each other for a long time,

almost half a year.

We needed time and distance

and now she's here again.

With a suitcase in hand,

and a smile on her face.

And I take her in my arms

and hold her close.

These are the moments

where I, if I could,

I would wish

that they'd never go away.

Dear old times,

stay still for bit,

rest for a while,

because it's so nice right now.

Let us stay in the here and now

Hold up all the clocks,

This is the moment that we want

for the next 100 years.

An unhoped for reunion

a smile in passing

an argument reconciled

a sickness survived.

A wonderful novelty,

The balance in overtime,

So many instants

go by so fast.
