Ganz egal (Wie wir das Ding auch dreh´n) (remastered) English translation
von Matthias Reim

And we ran through the streets
Put on sunglasses
So that no one would recognise us
And we were in such a good mood

And we listened over and over again
To that old Eagles song
The one about Hotel California
And we dreamed ourselves there

And again and again I see you
Through tinted plexiglass
The UV filter didn't work
Against what was still there

No matter how we turned it
We looked at each other for seconds too long
Too late to quickly turn away

I couldn't stop it anymore
And now it's too late anyway
And no one knows how this will continue


And we were like old friends
We were so familiar with each other right away
We had so much to say to each other
Mostly quietly, sometimes loudly

We called ourselves “old buddies”
But no one really believed it
And suddenly we realised there was more
That got on our last nerve

And again and again I see you
Through tinted plexiglass
The UV filter didn't work
Against what was still there

No matter how we turned the thing
We looked at each other for just a few seconds too long
Too late to quickly turn away

I couldn't prevent it anymore
And now it's too late anyway
And no one knows how this will continue

No matter how we turn this thing around
We looked at each other for just a few seconds too long
Too late to quickly turn back


I couldn't prevent it anymore
And now it's too late anyway
And no one knows how this will continue
