Darum leben wir English translation
von Cassandra Steen

When it gets dark, you say to me
This must never end
And when it gets light, I say to you
Don’t go, don’t leave me alone
Because we are one
Nothing happens a second time
That can’t be
Everything is only here once
Even if it doesn’t seem that way
And I say to the moment: don’t pass by
Stay a while
You are far too beautiful

And that’s why we live
We live to be here
Live to be true
And that’s why we live
And we take it all with us
Every pain and all the happiness
Of the world


Every night breaks into the first day
Of the rest of our lives
And every morning we jump
Straight into orbit

If not today, here and now
Then when and where?
No one can see the future
Knows the grand plan

And I say to the moment: don’t pass by
Stay a while
You are far too beautiful

And that’s why we live
We live to be here
Live to be true
And that’s why we live
And we take it all with us
Every pain and all the happiness
Of the world

You too have seen it just like I have
The butterfly in the snow, the tunnel full of light
Like me, you’ve wandered through the valley
And there was no way back


And that’s why we live
We live to be here
Live to be true
And that’s why we live
And we take it all with us
Every pain and all the happiness
Of the world

Of the world
And that’s why we live
