Zeitreise English translation
von Unheilig feat. Xavier Naidoo

Faded images pass by
In the flickering light and blink of an eye
I turn the time back to the beginning
When the world was brand new

I hear the voices and thoughts
And see the past clearly again
To understand what is today
I look at what was

I turn the time back to the beginning
When the world was brand new
And transience becomes new territory
And the view becomes clear again

Time travel through the years
Back to what used to be
Time travel through life
I look back on the year and day


A scent is enough and I'm back
One word is enough and I'll be there again
A song from a bygone era is enough
Alive and familiar, that's the past

I turn the time back to the beginning
(Time turns back so fast)
When the world was brand new
And transience becomes new territory
(How does time move back)
And the view becomes clear again

Time travel through the years
Back to what used to be
Time travel through life
I look back on the year and day

Time turns back so quickly
How does time move back


I turn the time back to the beginning
When the world was brand new
And transience becomes new territory
And the view becomes clear again
Time travel through the years
Back to what used to be
Time travel through life
I look back on the year and day

I return to the now and today
And look into the empty flickering light
The time travel is over
I look forward to what is
