48 Stunden [English translation]

My nights have 48 hours

and my days never stop by 1

I still haven't found my luck. 2

and if I had, it would be far apart

I don't do well with love, give or take

and if I give, I give too much

I'm not very good with this short life

and if I were, would I still be here?

And if I fall, then I fall deeply

and if I scream, (it's) because I haven't stopped (falling)

I scream out only because I...

can't live faster, fly higher,

or go any further.

Don't help me,

because I won't listen today

tonight has no goal

Won't take any counsel or words of advice 3

Need only myself and plenty of it

And if I fall, then I fall deeply

and if I scream, (it's) because I haven't stopped (falling)

I scream out only because I...

can't live faster, fly higher,

or go any further.

Say, how long is 48 hours?

'Cause my days never stop by.
