2003 Lyrics English Translation by Liaze & equal
Let them run, carefree,
Footsteps on the leaves,
And water flows, like a river on the asphalt.
There was a meal for all seven days of the week,
Yet, we rejoiced seven times (Seven times).
Then, a few years passed, and from the table I paid for,
Believe me, brother, we still dreamed back then (We used to dream of that).
The room turned into a backyard, candies into cigarettes,
Nintendo controllers became joints (Quite a lot).
Russian Guy, for the Germans, I was a stranger in this land,
And meanwhile, for the Russians, too much like a German (To hell with that).
I was one of three children,
No heating in the room,
Not as bad as it sounds, I was still young.
2003, the television flickers in black and white,
And it reminds of a time that will forever remain in me,
That will forever remain in me.
Let them run, carefree,
Footsteps on the leaves,
And water flows, like a river on the asphalt,
And it’s not clear where we’re going,
On this unremarkable day,
Why am I so cheerful (2003; ah).
In the shop window, he saw toys he never had (Never had).
Grandpa takes out his last tenner from his wallet (Aha).
I saw sunflower seeds and a few empty beer bottles,
No champagne, to hell with it, because we never had that ([?]).
You have no idea how difficult this language used to be (Aha).
I was the boy who hardly said anything on the school trip (Nothing at all).
Now I stand under this camera crane,
This life is a rollercoaster ride.
I was one of three children,
No heating in the room,
Not as bad as it sounds, I was still young.
2003, the television flickers in black and white,
And it reminds of a time that will forever remain in me,
That will forever remain in me.
Let them run, carefree,
Footsteps on the leaves,
And water flows, like a river on the asphalt,
And it’s not clear where we’re going,
On this unremarkable day,
Why am I so cheerful?
