Zeit macht nur vor dem Teufel halt [Today] [English translation]

Time doesn't just forever separate the dancer from the dance

Time also separates every singer from his song

For time is what will happen soon

Time doesn't just forever separate the dreamer from the dream

Time also separates every poet from his poetry

For time keeps running away from itself

Time spares no-one but the devil

For he never grows old, hell never gets cold

Time spares no-one but the devil

Today is almost tomorrow

Time doesn't just forever separate the father from the son

Time will eventually seperate you and me

For time outlasts everything1

Time spares no-one but the devil

For he never grows old, hell never gets cold

Time spares no-one but the devil

Today is almost tomorrow

Time - all the time - eternity

Yeah yeah yeah

Time spares no-one but the devil

For he never grows old, hell never gets cold

Time spares no-one but the devil

Today is almost tomorrow

Oh, whoa whoa whoa

Time spares no-one but the devil

For he never grows old, hell never gets cold

Time spares no-one but the devil

Today is almost tomorrow

1. Lit. "time draws the longest line".
