Sternhagelvoll English translation
von In Extremo

When the clock tower warns me at ten in the evening,
thirst holds me with an iron hand
When the music draws me to the pub,
I tell my wife it will be late today

This is my home, this is where I'm a man,
This is where guys meet, this is where I write to
The pockets are empty, but the beer is ordered
Thirst is worse than homesickness, what does the world cost?

Completely drunk
Two per mille above target
On rocking shoes through life
Floating on cloud nine

Completely drunk
Today major and tomorrow minor
On rocking shoes through life
What could be more beautiful?


A wrong word late at night
Makes its rounds ever faster
I'm at the end of my tether, tempers heat up
Blood from the nose, the shirt slashed

Outside my name yellow in the snow
Where are the pants, it hardly hurts anymore
Back at the pub, the bell strikes four
I spent all my money on whiskey and beer

Completely drunk
Three per mille above target
On rocking shoes through life
Floating on cloud nine

Completely drunk
Today major and tomorrow minor
On rocking shoes through life
What could be more beautiful?

Completely drunk
Four per mille above target
On rocking shoes through life
Floating on cloud nine


Completely drunk
Today major and tomorrow minor
On rocking shoes through life
What could be more beautiful?
