Lyrics & translation
Verse
My lungs are burning in the heat
Meine Lungen brennen in der Hitze
My heavy legs drag over asphalt
Meine schweren Beine schleppen sich über Asphalt
A courier parks his yellow bike
Ein Kurier parkt sein gelbes Fahrrad
He points toward the marked final turn
Er zeigt auf die markierte letzte Kurve
Chorus
Follow my scuffed-up sneakers
Folg meinen abgetragenen Turnschuhen
One marked corner, then their cheering
Eine markierte Kurve, dann ihr Jubel
Hear them calling out your name
Hör sie deinen Namen rufen
Follow my scuffed-up sneakers
Folg meinen abgetragenen Turnschuhen
Verse
Forty kilometers lie behind you
Vierzig Kilometer liegen hinter dir
This last turn follows the race route
Diese letzte Kurve folgt der Rennstrecke
They are waiting by the gate
Sie warten an dem Tor
Push through now, it is not late
Zieh jetzt durch, nicht zu spät
Chorus
Follow my scuffed-up sneakers
Folg meinen abgetragenen Turnschuhen
One marked corner, then their cheering
Eine markierte Kurve, dann ihr Jubel
Hear them calling out your name
Hör sie deinen Namen rufen
Follow my scuffed-up sneakers
Folg meinen abgetragenen Turnschuhen
Verse
See your children in the crowd
Sieh deine Kinder in der Menge
Cheering voices, long and loud
Jubelstimmen, lang und laut
Cross the line and take my hand
Überquere die Ziellinie und nimm meine Hand
You have reached the finish line
Du hast das Ziel erreicht
