Für immer jung [English translation]

Chorus [Karel Gott]:

Forever young, the whole life forever young,

You have to remember the good times

Because nothing is forever

Forever young, the whole life forever young,

You have to remember the good times

Because nothing is forever

1st verse [Bushido]:

You don't give a shit about those who talk without making sense

Because you remain a man of action

You just work hard

the whole goddamn day

You feel old and weak

You feel exhausted

And that asshole of a boss's vents his bad mood on you

What a comedy act

10 years of blood and sweat

You look in the mirror

That look says, "Enough, that's it!"

From your wife you get "radio silence" treatment, grief

Is she cheating?

Do you really still have the strength of a dog to track it down?

The children have also been lying to you:

Whether about smoking, partying, boozing, drugs

You have not raised your own blood this way!

Everyone thinks about themselves, but who thinks about you?

Before you wore college jackets, now a suit

You can't recognize yourself!

This life is just simply cold and heavy

And every year a few more wrinkles appear

Say, how gladly would you now fly free like an eagle?

No more worrying about being in a coffin someday.

Chorus [Karel Gott]:

Forever young, the whole life forever young,

You have to remember the good times

Because nothing is forever

Forever young, the whole life forever young,

You have to remember the good times

Because nothing is forever

2nd Verse [Bushido] :

Your parents are now old and sick.

And it's like a bad movie

and you pray to God now: Please stop it!.

It seems like yesterday:

you were just 9. Your first goal.

One is proud when he makes his father happy.

He was your coach. You kicked (the soccer ball) in front of the house.

Today the man walks bent over with a cane inside the house.

You're sad.

This man who was out with you every day,

sits alone at the kitchen table and now has cataracts.

He is sick. Sick, because he needs a kidney (transplant).

The cane accompanies him when he goes for his daily walk.

She {the mother} is worse off than him, but nobody cares.

The doctor usually gives her the last appointment.

Who can turn back time here?

Who will give her this strength again? She is weak.

Look, she can only walk hunched over.

And you only have your memory.

Everything is perishable,

but we would like to be forever young, always young.

Chorus [Karel Gott]:

Forever young, the whole life forever young,

You have to remember the good times

Because nothing is forever

Forever young, the whole life forever young,

You have to remember the good times

Because nothing is forever

3rd verse [Bushido]:

How gladly I would like to say now: hope dies last.

What have I done, why is God punishing me with this bad luck?

When will I realize that nothing is here forever?

That everything eventually breaks and then I sit in the rubble?

Enjoy the moment when you are with your friends.

This moment with your mother, because that's when she is happy.

At some point she will be gonee.

Enjoy the moment you share with her.

She does not need anything else.

And this shitty custom where everyone just thinks of themselves.

Children stress their father until he simply breaks,

until he just can't anymore and does not even want to talk,

because he wants to be young again and wants to live.

Nothing is forever. We would like to be forever young.

Give us the time that just stops, simply enjoy it,

and forget the day of hard work.

Now grab the Ray-Bans & blue jeans. Sing for them, Karel Gott!

Chorus [Karel Gott]:

Forever young, the whole life forever young,

You have to remember the good times

Because nothing is forever

Forever young, the whole life forever young,

You have to remember the good times

Because nothing is forever
