Süßer Vogel [English translation]

Life seemed endless to me,

When I was young.

The time seemed to stand still,

Simply nothing happened

I was right at the middle of the center,

When I was still young,

I was the point to this life

Without me, nothing came about

And then - what happened?

And then - what went down?

2x:

A sweet bird flew to me,

So lovely and infinitely delicate.

Sweet bird, you are far

And I never did anything to you

To love seemed endless to me,

When I met you back then.

My heart seemed to stand still.

It was 5 before 12.

You were the ship in my harbor.

When I met you,

You were my footing in my life

Without you nothing came about

And then - what happened?

And then - what went down?

A sweet bird flew to me,

So lovely and infinitely delicate.

Sweet bird, you are far

And I never did anything to you
