Zu spät [English translation]

Verse (in German)

Get up, the water's long since frozen over

Outside, life is passing you by

Your mother gets more wrinkles all the time

Hopefully she isn't on her death-bed yet

Your pockets are full, but your heart is empty

Each additional failure would be so wrong

Day by day, the old days are crumbling into dust

Meanwhile your father's hair has gone grey

You're travelling with your friends, because outside you're free

But tell me please, when are you ever home alone?

When did you last take your nephew to the park?

When did you spend a day with him?

You're always smiling, as if it's so easy

When did you last cry under the bed-covers?

The only thing you're missing is understanding

But remember one thing: It's only too late when it's over.

Chorus (in English)

Your heart is broken up, ey

Several relationships, you're running away

So tell me where you wanna go?

Life without a hope

Cause you are here

Swimming 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

Verse (in German)

You're down, get up. I know, you feel you're at the bottom.

Outside, life has already overtaken you.

Since you were 18, you've just roamed around and done jackshit

You hope God will forgive everything, but what if he doesn't?

I believe you, every day is stressful for you

But don't you think you've neglected your faith?

In fact, you should write off your life up to now

Restructure a little, you have two thirds (of your life) still ahead of you

You're only 25, yet you think you're the King

Here's a question: When were you last a child?

You think you're a player, with your one night stands

What you're missing is a woman who loves and appreciates you,

who's loyal to you, who carries your name *.

Wake up, maybe in a few years it will be too late

and you have so much left to achieve in life

Remember one thing: It's only too late when it's over.

(repeat chorus)

Coda (in German):

You gave up a lot for your dream

and right at this point, you stopped living

Too often, you pretend you're too noble, and you're too vain

And on these points, your life has failed.

(repeat chorus)
