Wir waren hier [English translation]

[Chorus:]

If our world no longer turns tomorrow,

the sun no longer shines,

there’s no reason to cry, no,

‘cause: we were here. We were here.

[Verse 1]

Life is a game ¹

we won a long time ago

‘cause we got there before millions of

other idiots.

I’m here, and now can come what may

‘cause I’m something like a hero in my Hollywood

film

yeah, yeah, it’s good to be alive ²

but even better afterward.

Damn, for once we’ll be stars, on the day…

[Chorus:]

If our world no longer turns tomorrow,

the sun no longer shines,

there’s no reason to cry, no,

‘cause: we were here. We were here.

[Verse 2]

I don’t pick up if the serious side of life ³

calls me.

No, I’m at the club and I’m dancing the Lena Meyer-Landrut. Yeah. ⁴

And my mom thinks I should finish school

and think about ‘to do’ lists,

and not to waste my youth.

Yeah, yeah, I know that nothing in this world

lasts forever,

but luckily there’s still a whole lot of time.

[Chorus:]

If our world no longer turns tomorrow,

the sun no longer shines,

there’s no reason to cry, no,

‘cause: we were here. We were here.

And that’s worth more than the most brilliant diamond,

take a chisel in your hand and write it on

the wall.

Write: we were here, we were here, we were here,

[Chorus:]

If our world no longer turns tomorrow,

the sun no longer shines,

there’s no reason to cry, no,

‘cause: we were here. We were here.
