2004

It's not because of you, it's my fault.

I'm rarely ever satisfied and have no patience.

I'll throw into your face at some point everything you do.

You're so genuinely anxious that I want to vomit,

and if that's love, then it's a shitty feeling

which only ever brings up that someone wants to move on.

Set me free, let me go.

Before I go now waving goodbye

to our old "us", to 2004,

to what we thought and what we once were,

to drunk kids under Autobahn bridges,

to the joint before school, to gaps in memory,

to the house of my childhood in a town on the Lahn.

I have to think about you so often.

We've lived through so much

even though it was always obvious

that at some point once of us would go.

It was so good probably not despite that

but rather because of it.

You were always so sure

that you'd stay how you were.

That was never enough for me -

I missed the big thing.

You say that you find it silly,

but it could be that you're missing the courage.

Set me free, let me go.

Before I go now waving goodbye

to our old "us", to 2004,

to what we thought and what we once were,

to drunk kids under Autobahn bridges,

to the joint before school, to gaps in memory,

to the house of my childhood in a town on the Lahn.

In my town on the Lahn.

Коментар:

The verses beginning with "Before I go now two fingers wide" do not make a great deal of sense literally. I believe that it is metaphor for the singer reminiscing about experiences in her life.

The Lahn is a river in Hessen, the state from which the band originates.

the expression "zwei Finger breit" (two fingers wide) refers to a hand gesture that in America is know as the "peace sign". It's a way of saying goodbye.

Very good translation @Das_transl8r. Thanks for the effort.
The refrain/chorus resembles a kind of a toast "to this, to that, to them".
"2 Finger breit" is a typical measure if you are buddies and don't have to make the effort to use glasses but drink off the bottle instead. A big sip.

I also don't know, if he's anxious. He's working hard to keep the relationship going, to make her feel well, to make her stay... some [earlier existing] ease is missing - 'strained', 'endeavoured' probably??
