Jetzt ist es zu spät [English translation]

OK,

Dear women, at the start of our carrier,

We thought that it wouldn't be all too difficult

To pick you up after concerts,

And then experience a hot night.

But somehow nothing every came out of it,

Because in the west, south, east and in the north,

We spent the evenings alone.

There was lots of beer, just no women.

And now?

Now you're starting to check us out,

Now you're suddenly starting to discover us.

Great!

Now it's too late,

Now it's over

Now we're completely taken,

Those who come too late are punished by life.

Oh no, no, no.

Where were you, please, a few years ago,

When we five were all still single?

When nights of passion with you in our empty beds

would have been welcome?

Where were you, please,

When we were looking for everything, just not eternal love?

When we knew that no woman paid attention to us,

And above all, none stayed overnight with us.

And now?

Now you're suddenly here and ready to go,

In case I forgot to mention it,

Now it's too late,

Now it's over

Now we're completely taken,

Those who come too late are punished by life.

Now it's over,

Clear case of stupidly done,

But for that we can't buy ourselves anything any more.

And what do we learn from it?

What is the moral of the story?

Women have many strengths,

They just don't have timing.
