14 oder 40 English translation
von Udo Lindenberg

Never seen you before
But still it is so
That I miss you already
You there somewhere
Do not know your name yet
Nor do I look for you in every face
Somewhere in the sea of people
You're still clueless

Whether you're 14 or 40
It's all the same then
Age is just any number
Whether you're a girl or maybe a man
It doesn't matter at all
All that matters to me is when?


Maybe you live in Cologne
Or somewhere by the sea
Maybe right next door
Or in the GDR
Then the day comes, and we know at once
Without any tricks and without a word
That now everything is clear, your look tells me
And there's no turning back

Whether you're 14 or 40
It's all the same then
Age is just a number
Whether you're a girl or maybe a man
It doesn't matter at all
All that matters to me is when?

Whether you're 14 or 40
It's all the same then
Age is just a number
Whether you're a girl or maybe a man
It doesn't matter at all
All that matters to me is when?
