Brennen English translation
von Feine Sahne Fischfilet

Yes, I want to live, not just breathe
No, I want to burn, with nothing left to lose
Better three years of adventure
Than thirty years freezing through life
Yes, I want to live, and that means fighting
Fighting against dying — that’s part of me too
Yes, I want to live, to fight with life
Yes, I want to burn, together with you
And you — stop
Stop telling me
There’s nothing else — I believed it for too long
You robbed me of my dreams
Of my tears, for so long

You robbed me of my dreams
Of my tears, for so long
You robbed me of my dreams
Of my tears, for so long


Ask yourself — are you happy with your life?
Is what you’re doing really what you want to be doing?
You’re saving time — but for what?
If there were a movie about your life
Would you watch it? Would it fascinate you?
Six euros for an hour at work —
What would you pay for an hour on a sunny day in the park?
Would you live differently
If you knew you’d die next year?
What tells you you’ll even be alive then?
And do you have ideas — or do ideas have you?
Do you ever feel lonely in a way
That words can’t explain?

You are your ticket out of this cage
You are your ticket out of this world
We all lie in the gutter, and the world is full of stars
You are your ticket out of this cage
You are your ticket out of this world
We all lie in the gutter, and the world is full of stars

We all lie in the gutter, and the world is full of stars
We all lie in the gutter, and the world is full of stars
