Wenn ein Mensch lebt

When a person lives for a short time, the world says he's leaving too soon.
When a person lives for a long time, the world says it's time. . .

My girlfriend is beautiful, when I woke up she was gone,
Don't wake her up until she stirs, I've laid in her shadow.

Everything has its time, collecting stones - scattering stones,
Planting trees - cutting down trees, living and dying and fighting.

When a person lives for a short time, the world says he's leaving too soon.
When a person lives for a long time, the world says it's time. . . for him to go.

Everything has its time, collecting stones - scattering stones,
Planting trees - cutting down trees, living and dying and peace and strife.

Don't wake her up until she stirs,
I've laid in her shadow.

Don't wake her up until she stirs, I've laid in her shadow.
