Unendlichkeit [single version] [English translation]

[Hook]

Life is fun, yes, you're a celebrity, yeah

Eating golden apples, fucking beautiful women

6,000 mph and you're still flooring it

Never need to sleep again for you're living the dream

But what are girls, cash, pretty things, a pretty Benz in white good for?

All that fancy shit is over

You're standing in front of a 100,000 fans and you know:

Eventually the moment is gone

And all I really wanted was eternity1

[Part 1]

Fuck money, fuck bitches and a stressful career

I wasn't signed by Ape Records for my bedroom skills

Fuck platinum records, fuck this business, this is all temporary

Got not time, this is my ticket to eternity

If I'm lucky, I got 70 years left

To prevent my soul from drifting for miles

Weightlessly into nothingness, please, Lord, stand by me

So I'll have more than a trophy left when this life ends

Yeah, yeah, I know, time is short

But believe me, a couple megabytes are enough to make a difference

It's late, I know, sorry, I'm still looking for a rhyme

Go ahead and tell them there's gonna be a heap

Of new things that will make people remember who I was

Back then with the MPC, from my room to the charts

I'm convinced you can only win if you take risks

The world is not enough, I'm hitchhiking for Mars

[Hook]

Life is fun, yes, you're a celebrity, yeah

Eating golden apples, fucking beautiful women

6,000 mph and you're still flooring it

Never need to sleep again for you're living the dream

But what are girls, cash, pretty things, a pretty Benz in white good for?

All that fancy shit is over

You're standing in front of a 100,000 fans and you know:

Eventually the moment is gone

And all I really wanted was eternity

[Bridge]

And now I see much clearer

I'm not scared to die

'Cause I will live forever

I will be alive

In this moment

For eternity, for eternity

[Outro]

As quick as it came it will eventually be gone

That's why I'm living every day as if it were the last

Life isn't long, it's gonna be over someday

That's why I'm striving for eternity every day

1. "Unendlichkeit" actually means "infinity" (spatial) whereas "eternity" (timelike) would be "Ewigkeit". Since Cro is using "eternity" in the English bridge, I have translated it as such.
