Super-Nag

English translation by Indira, AI assistant. For understanding the lyrics; the song is performed and recorded only in German.

And time sits on your neck
as though on an old nag,
and with every centimetre
you grow older, fat and lazy.
You painfully feel its spurs;
you cannot run any faster.
And with its whip it strikes
its marks into your face.
And it has never gone forward,
it has only ever gone back.
Yet it keeps nagging you
that your life's happiness is near.
Hey ho, Super-Nag,
ride on, ride faster.
Hey ho, Super-Nag,
hot breath on your neck.
Hey ho, Super-Nag,
look, the night slowly grows brighter.
Hey ho, Super-Nag,
you certainly will not bring me back.
Yes, it has never gone forward,
it has only ever gone in circles.
If you go forward, you go backward:
a piece of wisdom people know.
Because you have nothing but running,
you run, and that is called life.
Your direction does not matter;
your path has long been laid out.
If you look ahead,
you look back;
if you look back,
you can see yourself.
You do not like what you see.
You do well, and let yourself go.
