Das Leben ist zu kurz English translation
von Nik P.

In the last millennium
I came into the world
Since then much has happened
Many years have passed

As if my childhood laughter
Hadn't quite faded away yet
I hear the mirror whisper, mhm
"Now you're getting old"

And when I look at the friends today
Who were just children before
I see some high foreheads
And gray mixing into their temples

I think about my dreams
Have I already lived them all?
I never expected
How quickly time catches up with us


Life is too short
Too short for "someday"
Don't make compromises, draw conclusions from it
Oh-oh-oh (life, life)

Life is too short
Too short for "someday" (someday)
Take the time for all your dreams
Now and here (the time)

I also have a tip
On how to maybe do it best
Sometimes be quietly crazy
But always take care of yourself

Enjoy every hour
And what you lack in life
Maybe it's just the realization
That each of these hours counts

Life is too short
Too short for "someday"
Don't make compromises, draw conclusions from it
Oh-oh-oh (life, life)


Life is too short
Too short for "someday" (someday)
Take the time for all your dreams
Now and here (the time)

Live each day as if it were your last
Start right away and really throw yourself into it

Life is too short
Too short for "someday"
Don't make compromises, draw conclusions from it
Oh-oh-oh

Life is too short
Too short for "someday" (someday)
Take the time for all your dreams
Now and here (the time)
