Einmal English translation
von Mark Forster

once, once

Like when Laura sat in my room,
my heart was beating wild, because she really liked me
Like how we ran through our village like psychos
Primed on tequila and the three of us vomiting at the traffic light
Once, as I was supposed to learn paragraphs
I would know better today, so much time wasted
When a whole country sang my little song
forget who I was, forget my name

Something comes and goes and never comes back, never
And because of that it is much more valuable

once, once, this doesn't come back
It remains by once, but fortunately I was there
I can't have everything back again
Joy, Sadness, Love; Insanity
Once, and I was there fortunately


Once, when we put our feet in the sand
Realised in a foreign country that were perfect together
When I sat on the edge with grandma
Listening to her the whole day, just weeks before she passed away
Once, when our hears would beat to every note
because it got clear that the journey is worth it
from noisy room to abbey road
when I'll have it with you, the Mini Me
Everything turns and moves, cause there is nothing bigger

Not every time a big moment is over
I instantly know: Damn, it won't happen like this again
But I know I'll always carry it with me
And just inside me I can repeat it
Not every time a big moment is over
I instantly know: Damn, it won't happen like this again
But I know I'll always carry it with me
And just inside me I can repeat it
Because of this it is much more valuable

once, once, this doesn't come back
It remains by once, but fortunately I was there
I can't have everything back again
Joy, Sadness, Love; Insanity
Once, and I was there fortunately
once, once, this doesn't come back
It remains by once, but fortunately I was there
I can't have everything back again
Joy, Sadness, Love; Insanity
Once, and I was there fortunately
