Translating and subbing videos is fun.
Movie Maker isn't the proper program for this though.

Translator's notes:

-The title "nebeL" comes with some nice gimmick. A noun is always written with a capital letter at its first position, and usually doesn't have capitals anywhere else. So if you mirror "nebeL" you get "Leben" (life).

-"Traumwelt zerfällt"
I chose to translate "zerfallen" as "to shatter", since it fits better, like a dream wold that is as fragile as glass, shattering.

-"Zieh'n die Wolken schwarze Fragen"
"schwarze Fragen", literally "black/dark questions"
I went with ominous to give it a more dramatic feeling. At least thats what I imagine.

-"Ich versinke!!!"
While the verb is still "versinken", I translated it with "drowning", to give it a more final meaning.
In the end, you will most likely drown, if you keep sinking.


Lyrics[German/English]:

Das ist die Realität - sie frisst mich auf
This is reality - devouring me

Das ist die Realität
This is reality
----------------------------------------------
Traumwelt zerfällt - wo bist Du jetzt?
Du bist gegangen ohne zurück zu schauen
Kein Wort - kein Blick
Alles versinkt im Nichts - ich folge ins Licht

Dream world shatters - where are you now?
You left without looking back
No word - no glimpse
Everything descends into naught - I follow into the light
----------------------------------------------
An solchen Tagen
Seh' ich zu wie der Regen mein Leben benetzt
Ich versinke
An solchen Tagen
Zieh'n die Wolken schwarze Fragen

On days like this
I watch the rain covering my life
I am sinking
On days like this
clouds carry ominous questions
----------------------------------------------
Das ist die Realität - sie frisst mich auf
This is reality - devouring me

Das ist die Realität
This is reality
----------------------------------------------
Schwarze Fragen die mich plagen - ein Leben lang
Ich muss hier raus - doch der Himmel schreit,
Du bist mein in Ewigkeit!

Ominous questions, afflicting me - my entire life
I have to escape - but Heaven shouts,
You are mine for eternity!
----------------------------------------------
An solchen Tagen
Seh' ich zu wie der Regen mein Leben benetzt
Ich versinke
An solchen Tagen
Zieh'n die Wolken schwarze Fragen

On days like this
I watch the rain covering my life
I am sinking
On days like this
clouds carry ominous questions
----------------------------------------------
Ich versinke (ich versinke) im Nichts... im Nichts... im Nichts
Und ich spüre wie der Regen fällt!

I am falling (I am falling) into the void... into the void... into the void
And I feel the rain pouring down!
----------------------------------------------
An solchen Tagen
Seh' ich zu wie der Regen mein Leben benetzt
Ich versinke,
An solchen Tagen
Zieh'n die Wolken schwarze Fragen

On days like this
I watch the rain covering my life
I am sinking,
On days like this
clouds carry ominous questions
----------------------------------------------
Ich versinke!!!
I am drowning!!!
