My go at a translation:

A row of benches in a restless late April I glance over my shoulder to see you blink I can have you whenever you want The wind blows litter through the corridors one last time And you and I hold our hands as we braze ourselves for the leap We’re not very far from home

But still there’s thousands of tears left to cry They were yours to give to whomever you want And Finally They’re the most precious treasure you have So never ask for forgiveness again And Finally We’re transcending all of their limits

Do you remember our blood oath, our law? Our foolish crusades toward an equally foolish place All I remember is like nails scratched on glass But all you do is laugh, diminish it all into a joke But I can tell by your anxious posture, your nervous gaze, that you feel That it’s a long way home

Soon there will be no tears left to cry They’re were ours to give to whomever we want And Finally They’re the most precious treasure we have So never ask for forgiveness again And Finally You’re drawing your own borders

And that boy I never knew of Walking streets I never saw Thinking thoughts I never thought of Beneath hair wavy and straw All feelings beating and blasting An everyday life filled with holes In a time when nothing happened In the city that always sleeps But honey, all of us were once young Yes, all of us were once young Yes, all of us were once young

I’m throwing stones in my glasshouse I’m playing darts in my iron lung So I grow all of my fears now Yes, I’ll always plant new seeds And I take shelter in my greenhouse Where envy grows green and wild And I’m scared for my life of living And I’m scared to death to die But honey, all of us will one day die Yes, all of us will one day die Yes, all of us will one day die

All of us will one day die All of us will one day die All of us will one day die
