Für immer jung English translation
von Bushido feat. Karel Gott

Forever young, a lifetime forever young
You have to remember the good times
Because nothing is forever

Forever young, a lifetime forever young
You have to remember the good times
Because nothing is forever

You don't give a shit about those who talk senseless, because you remain a man of action
Working hard all goddamn day
You feel old and weak, you feel drained
And boss's pig lets you get in a bad mood

What a break clown, 10 years of blood and sweat
You look in the mirror, that look says: "Enough, that's enough"
Your wife is radio silent, sad, is she cheating?
Do you still have the strength to ambush the dog?

The kids lied to you too, whether it was smoking, partying, drinking, drugs
That's not how you raised your blood
Everyone thinks of themselves, but who thinks of you?
Former college jackets, now the suit, you don't recognize yourself


This life is just cold and hard
And every year there are a few more wrinkles
Say, how would you like to fly free like an eagle right now?
Don't waste any more thought about lying in the coffin at some point

Forever young, a lifetime forever young
You have to remember the good times
Because nothing is forever

Forever young, a lifetime forever young
You have to remember the good times
Because nothing is forever

Your parents are old and sick now and this is like a bad movie
And you're praying to God now, please stop him
It feels like yesterday, you were just nine
Your first goal, you're proud when your father is happy

He was your coach, you kick in front of the house
Today the man runs into the house bent over with a cane
You get sad, this man who was outside with you every day
Sitting at the kitchen table all alone and now has cataracts

He's sick, sick because he's missing a kidney
The cane accompanies him when he goes for a walk today
You are worse off than him
But no one cares, the doctor usually gives her the last appointment


Who can ever turn back time?
Who will give you this power again, it is weak
Look, she can only walk bent over
And all you have left is your memory
Everything is ephemeral, but we would like to be young forever
Always young

Forever young, a lifetime forever young
You have to remember the good times
Because nothing is forever

Forever young, a lifetime forever young
You have to remember the good times
Because nothing is forever

How I would like to say now: "Hope dies last"
What have I done? Why does God punish me with this bad luck?
When will I realize that nothing here is forever?
It all breaks at some point and I'm sitting in the rubble

Enjoy the moment when you are with your friends
That moment with your mother, because then she's happy
Eventually she will go, enjoy the moment
The one you're sharing with her right now, she doesn't need anything else

And this fucking habit, everyone thinks of themselves
Children stress their father until he just breaks
Until he just can't take it anymore and doesn't want to talk anymore
Because he wants to be young again and also wants to live

Nothing is forever, we'd like to be forever young
Let's just spend the time that remains and
Forget the hard job for a day too
Now get the Ray Ban, the blue jeans, sing for them, Karel Gott

Forever young, a lifetime forever young
You have to remember the good times
Because nothing is forever

Forever young, a lifetime forever young
I will always give my all
A lifetime forever young

I will always give my all
Forever in life
Forever, forever, forever young
