Kater English translation
von Büne Huber

I pretended for a long time
won until I lost
and gambled away my last shirt
everything that was dear and precious to me
I've carried out into the fire
a word is a word, but cheating counts
and the morning comes with a hangover
at the bitter end of the road

I've gone from bad to worse
from bad to better
from better to good
from good to very good
and then the same way back again
Some things that look great from afar
and shine golden with glamour
are seen up close
only dull and small


We no longer aim, but shoot bucks
pulling on the same rope
but unfortunately not into the same direction
We may fly on our faces when we let go
and maybe, when we're lying on the ground,
it's not so important anymore
and the day after tomorrow, all the things that bound us together
will be stronger than the ones that separated us

I have gone from very bad to bad
from bad to better
from better to good
from good to very good
and then the same way back again
Some things that look great from afar
and shine golden with glamour
are seen up close
only dull and small

I have gone from bad to worse
from bad to better
from better to good
from good to very good
and then back the same way again
Some things that look great from afar
and shine golden with glamour
are seen up close
only dull and small
