Heute hier, morgen dort English translation
von Philipp Poisel

Here today, gone tomorrow,
I'm barely here before I have to leave,
but I've never complained about it.
I chose it this way myself,
never counted the years,
never asked about yesterday and tomorrow.

Sometimes I dream heavily
and then I think,
it would be time to stay and now
do something completely different.

Thus, year after year passes by,
and it has long been clear to me,
that nothing remains, that nothing remains,
as it was.

The fact that I'm barely missed,
forgotten after just days,
when I've long since moved on elsewhere,
doesn't bother or worry me.
Maybe my face will stick in the mind of one or two people.


Sometimes I dream heavily
and then I think,
it would be time to stay and now
do something completely different.

Thus, year after year passes by,
and it has long been clear to me,
that nothing remains, that nothing remains,
as it was.

If someone asks me why
I am the way I am, I remain silent,
because the answer to that is difficult for me.
Because what is new becomes old,
and what was valid yesterday,
is no longer true today or tomorrow.

Sometimes I dream heavily
and then I think,
it would be time to stay and now
do something completely different.

Thus, year after year passes by,
and it has long been clear to me,
that nothing remains, that nothing remains,
as it was.
