Kippenpause [English translation]

Let me inhale,

Leave the world outside,

Like being imprisoned, all alone

No drivel, no telephone

I mean, really alone

This is my time, only me and you mum

I don't get in touch enough, don't forget me, please!

I know they like to fool around sometimes

But hold your head high, the young grow up.

Nerves are bursting, stretched to breaking point

I'm always thinking of you,

I hope you know it too Mum.

There is still so much to say.

I'm still waiting for the love of life.

The world seems so lousy and rainy without it,

But I pray that I'll have something like that again.

No, I'm not complaining, not asking questions.

All that I want is to go back into the daylight.

I was never good with family stuff,

But I cried as Emily arrived.

With joy we shouted "quickly get on the train!"

A wonder that you exist, Emily Dawn,

A wonder that the world still stands,

A wonder that I myself am still living.

My boys, I think of you always,

Believe me this heartbeat is for you.

I miss you, I have less and less time,

But I have to pay rent, do things, settle shit

Eternally and almost always stressing,

This drag is so i never forget you.

No I'm not complaining, not asking questions,

All that I want is to go back into the daylight.

Live as long as the light is still on,

You only realise later how close you are

See only then from the man's perspective

When everything is gone, flown away and landing into nothing,

Seen huge mountains, deep valleys.

Growing up is sticking by mistakes

Growing up is getting over faults,

Talking, forgiving, then seeing past faults.

Please believe in me!

Never underestimate the power of a moment.

Sure, I dream of money and a chart hit

But I'm not stupid enough to think that the world waits for me.

I step up my game!

Take the cord out!

Then smoke another fag!

No I'm not complaining, not asking questions,

All that I want is to go back into the daylight.
