Nur kurz glücklich English translation
von Madeline Juno

I don't know where it comes from
I don't think my Mom did this
Always when I'm doing well
I think I've missed something

I ask myself, was it always like this
That I worry too much
The whole city is already asleep
Meanwhile I'm slaloming around my fears
And I think

You assume catastrophe is coming
You look for the catch, the trapdoor
But what if it doesn't exist
And you're just happy for a moment?

And you search for the ifs and the buts
So that you can say you knew it all along
But what if it doesn't exist
And you're just happy for a moment?

You're happy
You're just happy


Can I still fix this?
Erase the panic
Be happy when something new begins
And not only see what is ending

Can someone tell me if I was born this way?
Or did I become like this over the years?
That when I'm at peace, I expect
That it's just the calm before the storm

You assume catastrophe is coming
You look for the catch, the trapdoor
But what if it doesn't exist
And you're just happy for a moment?

And you search for the ifs and the buts
So that you can say you knew it all along
But what if it doesn't exist
And you're just happy for a moment?

You're happy
You're just happy
You're happy
You're just happy
