Zeitumstellung Lyrics in English by Dendemann, Teutilla
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Zeitumstellung by Dendemann from German to English.
Ah
Ah
It's time
It's time
One to the two, ah
One to the two, ah
One, two (ah, yeah)
One, two (ah, yeah)
Endlich Zeit für perfektes Timing (ah)
Finally time for perfect timing (ah)
Für Menschlichkeit und Respekt den klein' Dingen, yeah
For humanity and respect for the small things, yeah
Endlich Zeit um Stellung zu beziehen
Finally time to take a stand
Doch dafür brauch unser Held 'n gutes Team (it's time)
But for that, our hero needs a good team (it's time)
Drastische Zeit, drastische Maßnahmen
Drastic times, drastic measures
Verschwiegenheit passt nicht in Fahrplan
Secrecy doesn't fit the schedule
Ja, wenn's weh tut, kannst du den Sinn fühlen
Yes, when it hurts, you can feel the meaning
Ring nicht um Haltung, tanz mit den Windmühlen
Don't struggle for composure, dance with the windmills
Mama mia, ich würd echt lieber chillen, aber
Mama mia, I'd really rather chill, but
Papa Staat hat die rechten Bazillen
Papa State has the right-wing germs
Guck, da sitzt er mit Schoßhund und Pizza
Look, there he sits with a lapdog and pizza
Doch auf dem Papier ist er Großgrundbesitzer
But on paper, he's a large landowner
So vertieft in sein rechtes Wochenblatt
So engrossed in his right-wing weekly paper
Dass man nicht riecht wo er sich verkrochen hat
That you don't smell where he's hidden himself
Er lebt in Angst nach allen Regeln der Wut
He lives in fear by all rules of rage
Und dagegen ist nicht mehr dagegen genug, na endlich
And against that, being against it is no longer enough, finally
Endlich wieder, Zeit, Zeitum-, Zeitumstellung
Finally again, time, time-change, time adjustment
Endlich wieder Zeit, um Stellung zu beziehen (it's time)
Finally again time to take a stand (it's time)
Endlich wieder, Zeit, Zeitum-, Zeitumstellung
Finally again, time, time-change, time adjustment
Endlich wieder Zeit, um Stellung zu beziehen
Finally again time to take a stand
Endlich Zeitumstellung zu nehmen (it's time)
Finally to make the time adjustment (it's time)
Den Wendehals noch schnell umzudrehen
To quickly turn the turncoat around
Endlich wieder den Schweinehund ausführen
Finally again to walk the inner pig-dog
Zeit umzukehren vor der eigenen Haustür
Time to turn back at one's own doorstep
Höchste Zeit es beim Namen zu nennen
High time to call it by its name
Dass es höchste Zeit ist zum Farbe bekenn', ja
That it's high time to show one's true colors, yes
Ja, ja die Grauzone war doch eh gelogen
Yes, yes, the gray area was a lie anyway
Kein schwarz-rot-braun, nur noch Regenbogen (ah)
No black-red-brown, only rainbow anymore (ah)
Immer bunter, krasser, Hundertwasser
Always more colorful, crazier, Hundertwasser
Alles für die Würde, unantastbar
Everything for dignity, inviolable
Punktum war's damit dem dummen Geschwätz
Period, that's it with the stupid chatter
Kein Rumgekaspar mit dem Grundgesetz
No clowning around with the Basic Law
Eure Rassenkunde stickt wie nasse Hunde
Your racial studies stink like wet dogs
Liegt nur Hass zu Grunde
Only hate lies at its foundation
Wenn die Demokratie ihren Segen verflucht
If democracy curses its blessing
Ist dagegen wohl nicht mehr dagegen genug, na endlich
Being against it is probably no longer enough, finally
(It's time) (ha)
(It's time) (ha)
Endlich wieder, Zeit, Zeitum-, Zeitumstellung
Finally again, time, time-change, time adjustment
Endlich wieder Zeit, um Stellung zu beziehen (it's time)
Finally again time to take a stand (it's time)
Endlich wieder, Zeit, Zeitum-, Zeitumstellung
Finally again, time, time-change, time adjustment
Endlich wieder Zeit, um Stellung zu beziehen (it's time)
Finally again time to take a stand (it's time)
Endlich wieder, Zeit, Zeitum-, Zeitumstellung
Finally again, time, time-change, time adjustment
Endlich wieder Zeit, um Stellung zu beziehen (it's time)
Finally again time to take a stand (it's time)
Endlich wieder, Zeit, Zeitum-, Zeitumstellung
Finally again, time, time-change, time adjustment
Endlich wieder Zeit, um Stellung zu beziehen (it's ah)
Finally again time to take a stand (it's ah)
(It's time) (ha!)
(It's time) (ha!)
(It's time!)
(It's time!)

Schweinehund — inner weaker self / pig-dog
Schweinehund literally translates to "pig-dog" and is a fascinating German idiom. It refers to one's inner weaker self, the part that gives in to laziness, procrastination, or bad habits.
In the song, "Endlich wieder den Schweinehund ausführen" (Finally take the pig-dog for a walk) is a clever play on words. It suggests confronting and overcoming one's inner demons or weaknesses, rather than letting them control you. It's a unique and memorable expression that captures a common human struggle.
