Lyrics and translation
Original
Steh auf, das Wasser ist längst eingefroren
Draußen ist das Leben schon an dir vorbeigezogen
Die Falten deiner Ma werden immer mehr
Hoffentlich hat sie sich noch nicht dem Sterbebett genähert
Deine Taschen sind voll, doch im Herzen bist du leer
Jedes weitere Versäumnis wäre so verkehrt
Sie zerfallen Tag für Tag zu Staub, die alten Tage
Dein Vater hat mittlerweile nur noch grauweiße Haare
Du bist auf Reisen mit Freunden, denn draußen bist du frei
Aber sag mir bitte, wann bist du zu Hause mal allein?
Wann hast du das letzte Mal dein' Neffen in den Park gebracht?
Mit ihm ein' Tag verbracht, wann war das mal?
Immer lachst du, als wäre das so leicht
Wann hast du das letzte Mal unter der Bettdecke geweint?
Das Einzige, was dir noch fehlt, ist die Einsicht
Aber merk dir eins: es ist erst zu spät, wenn es vorbei ist
Your heart is broken up, ye
Several relationships are runnin' away
So tell me where you wanna go?
Life without a hope
Cause you are here
Swimmin' in an ocean of broken dreams
If we are here
Save you from the misery
And we sing yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Du bist down, steh auf, ich weiß, du fühlst dich unten
Draußen hat das Leben dich schon überrundet
Seitdem du 18 bist, streunst du rum und machst nur Mist
Hoffst, dass Gott dir alles vergibt, aber was, wenn nicht?
Ich glaub es dir, bei dir ist jeder Tag stressig
Aber meinst du nicht, du hast dein Glauben zu vernachlässigt?
Dein Leben bis heute solltest du eigentlich stornieren
Ein kleines Bisschen formieren, du hast zwei Drittel noch vor dir
Du bist erst 25, aber denkst, du bist der King
Eine Frage: wann warst du das letzte Mal ein Kind?
Du denkst, du bist ein Player mit dein' One Night Stands
Dabei fehlt dir eine Frau, die dich liebt und dich schätzt
Die loyal zu dir steht, deinen Nachnamen trägt
Wach auf, vielleicht ist es in paar Jahren zu spät
Und du musst so vieles im Leben noch erreichen
Merk dir eins: es ist erst zu spät, wenn es vorbei ist
Your heart is broken up, ye
Several relationships are runnin' away
So tell me where you wanna go?
Life without a hope
Cause you are here
Swimmin' in an ocean of broken dreams
If we are here
Save you from the misery
And we sing yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Du hast vieles für dein Traum aufgegeben
Genau an diesem Punkt hast du aufgehört zu leben
Du bist dir viel zu oft zu edel und zu eitel
Genau an solchen Punkten ist dein Leben doch gescheitert
Your heart is broken up, ye
Several relationships are runnin' away
So tell me where you wanna go?
Life without a hope
Cause you are here
Swimmin' in an ocean of broken dreams
If we are here
Save you from the misery
And we sing yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
English translation
Get up, the water has long since frozen
Life has already passed you by outside
Your mom's wrinkles are getting more and more
Hopefully she isn't nearing her deathbed yet
Your pockets are full, but your heart is empty
Any further failure would be so wrong
They crumble into dust day by day, the old days
Your father now only has gray-white hair
You are traveling with friends because outside you are free
But please tell me, when are you alone at home?
When was the last time you took your nephew to the park?
Spent a day with him, when was that?
You always laugh as if it were so easy
When was the last time you cried under the covers?
The only thing you're missing is insight
But remember one thing: it's not too late until it's over
Your heart is broken up, yes
Several relationships are runnin' away
So tell me where you wanna go?
Life without a hope
Because you are here
Swimmin' in an ocean of broken dreams
If we are here
Save you from the misery
And we sing yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
You're down, get up, I know you're feeling down
Outside, life has already overtaken you
Since you turned 18, you've been wandering around doing shit
You hope that God forgives you everything, but what if not?
I believe you, every day is stressful for you
But don't you think you've neglected your faith?
You should actually cancel your life until today
Form up a little bit, you still have two thirds to go
You're only 25, but you think you're the king
One question: when was the last time you were a child?
You think you're a player with your one night stands
You are missing a woman who loves you and appreciates you
Who is loyal to you, bears your last name
Wake up, maybe in a few years it will be too late
And you still have so much to achieve in life
Remember one thing: it's not too late until it's over
Your heart is broken up, yes
Several relationships are runnin' away
So tell me where you wanna go?
Life without a hope
Because you are here
Swimmin' in an ocean of broken dreams
If we are here
Save you from the misery
And we sing yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
You gave up a lot for your dream
It was at this point that you stopped living
You are far too often too noble and too vain
It is precisely at these points that your life failed
Your heart is broken up, yes
Several relationships are runnin' away
So tell me where you wanna go?
Life without a hope
Because you are here
Swimmin' in an ocean of broken dreams
If we are here
Save you from the misery
And we sing yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
