Bist du der Mensch English translation
von Ben Zucker

The water’s up to my neck
My face is slowly aging
And when all the noise fades away, what remains?
Your eyes seek support
The day is good, the sky is clear
Happiness is much more beautiful when shared
It’s time for someone to stay
Who shares even the worst things with me

Are you the person who understands me?
Who bets on me, for whom I live?
Are you the person who moves my little world?
Are you the person who misses me?
Who calms me down, never forgets me?
Are you the person who walks this path with me?
Who goes to the end with me?


Your big heart begins to thaw
It’s too late to run away
Let’s build a whole circus
Just for the two of us
The streets here are not made of gold
The pockets are far from full
We share the little nothing we have, and it smells

It’s time for someone to stay
Who shares even the worst things with me

Are you the person who understands me?
Who bets on me, for whom I live?
Are you the person who moves my little world?
Are you the person who misses me?
Who calms me down, never forgets me?
Are you the person who walks this path with me?
Who goes to the end with me?
