Pläne English translation
von Ina Müller

We’d known each other
I can’t recall since when
You were always there
For as long as I can remember
A kind person, my loyal friend
Who laughed, gossiped, and dreamed with me
Now I’m standing here, fighting
With shame, grief, and rage
Because I always told you,
“Hey, it’ll all be fine someday”
But now reality plays a foul
And punches hope right in the mouth
Once again


We just still had plans
Nothing but little problems
Only moments ago, we were ready to leap
Feeling so strong and so young
We just still had goals
Rendezvous and appointments
Our lives were still running their course
When suddenly they rear up
And fall silent

Right now it’s crushing me
This black ritual
Because on the way here, everything still felt so normal
The city keeps going without you
As if it doesn’t miss you at all
I’m standing here, lost among all those we both knew
And I feel how fiercely your images burn inside me
How, with this hard ending,
I have to grow up a little more
Once again

We just still had plans
Nothing but little problems
Only moments ago, we were ready to leap
Feeling so strong and so young
We just still had goals
Rendezvous and appointments
Our lives were still running their course
When suddenly they rear up
And fall silent


We just still had goals
Rendezvous and appointments
Our lives were still running their course
When suddenly they rear up
And fall silent
