Alte Liebe rostet nie English translation
von Kerstin Ott

Stand by me, oh, stand by me

I throw another coin into the jukebox for you
And it plays our song all night long (And the moon—)
And time flies by, but we stay awake (So, darlin', darlin')
And then everything feels just like before
We haven't heard it in way too long
Suddenly, the feeling is there that the world belongs to us (So, darlin', darlin')

Old love never rusts (Stand by me, stand by me)
Exactly that melody (Stand by me)
Brings us back to the first dance, to the very first kiss
Never stop the record, we're far from done
Old love never rusts (Stand by me, stand by me)


Back then in the Polo, "Stand By Me" on cassette
Played a thousand times at home on the guitar (And the moon—)
I wasn't the best at it, but you loved it (So, darlin', darlin')
Dirty dancing through the night in your apartment
To the sunrise through the hatch onto the roof
Music was our drug, for the parents, it was noise (So, darlin', darlin')

Old love never rusts (Stand by me, stand by me)
Exactly that melody (Stand by me)
Brings us back to the first dance, to the very first kiss
Never stop the record, we're far from done
Old love never rusts (Stand by me)

Da-da, mh-da-da-da, mh-da
Da-da-da, mh-da
Da-da-da, mh-da
Da-da-da-da-da, mh-da (Stand by me)
Da-da-da, mh-da
Da-da-da-da-da, mh-da
Da-da-da, mh-da
Da-da-da-da-da, mh-da (Stand by me)


Old love never rusts (Stand by me, stand by me)
Exactly that melody (Stand by me)
Brings us back to the first dance, to the very first kiss
Never stop the record, we're far from done
Old love never rusts (Stand by me, stand by me) (Stand by me)
