|
The turtle and the scorpion, the riverbank the deal, |
|
To cross the open water they mutually agreed, |
|
Out there in the distance, the other side in sight, |
|
Banking on forever, holding on for life, |
|
I can see the other side, |
|
I want to see the other side, |
|
Somewhere in the middle the truth is hard to find, |
|
I'm running round in circles; I find I'm running blind, |
|
Praying for the distance, praying for more time, |
|
Running round in circles, running out of time, |
|
Manchmal, I often think of you, |
|
Manchmal, I want to see it through, |
|
Manchmal, I should feel something more inside, |
|
Manchmal, I want to reach the other side. |
|
I'm swimming, I'm swimming! |
|
The point of grave decision, no turning back this time, |
|
No sense of reluctance, no doubt in my mind, |
|
Except that nagging feeling, the thought that it might fail, |
|
The bullet's in the chamber, the sting is in the tail, |
|
Manchmal, I only think of you, |
|
Manchmal, could we see it through? |
|
Manchmal, there is something left inside? |
|
Manchmal, my nature cannot hide! |
|
I can see where we're going; I can see how you feel, |
|
I can sense you're going to leave me, I know you'll break the deal, |
|
I'll drown in my sorrows and I'll drink at your shrine, manchmal, |
|
Is that the way that you see it, tell me how it should be, |
|
It's time to choose between the devil and the deep blue see, |
|
Manchmal, Manchmal. |
|
Manchmal, there's something stirring deep inside, |
|
Manchmal, a chance to come alive, |
|
Manchmal, manchmal, |
|
It's time to choose between the open water and your dreams, |
|
Time you faced reality, time you faced your fears, |
|
Manchmal, it's different this time, |
|
Manchmal, manchmal, it'll be different this time, |
|
Manchmal, manchmal, |
|
Jedesmal. |
