Ich mit sechs, erstes training
I started with six, first training
Fußballclub, ich hab' schiss, doch ich geh' hin
Football club, I'm schiss, but I'm going to go
Tobi schießt, ich fall' hin, knie geht auf
Tobi shoots, I fall' down, knee stumbles
Mama schimpft, nicht so schlimm, ich hör' auf
Mum scolds, not so bad, I stop
Dann mit elf, wieder sonntag
Then at eleven, again sunday
Kurz nach acht, ich seh' papa davonfahr'n
Shortly after eight, I see' papa driving away'n
Mama still, und's geht nicht um sein'n job
Mum still, and it's not about his job
Obwohl ich's will, sag' ich ihm niemals stopp
Although I want it, I never tell him to stop
Mit fuffzehn aufm weinfest
With fuffzehn on the wine-proof
Nina neben mir, hält mein bein fest
Nina next to me, holds my leg tightly
Geht nicht weg, bleibt bei mir bis zum schluss
Don't leave, stay with me until the end
Alles perfekt, doch ich geb' ihr kein'n kuss
Everything perfect, but I don't give her a kiss
Dann die schulband mit neunzehn
Then the school band with nineteen
Jeden tag proberaum, beste freunde
Every day rehearsal room, best friends
Unsre songs, nur dicke hits!
Our songs, just thick hits!
Alle geh'n studier'n, aus uns wird nix
All go'n studier'n, from us becomes nothing
Du bereust nicht, was du tust
You don't regret what you're doing
Du bereust, was du nicht tust
You regret what you don't do
Was du nicht tust
What you don't do
Also trau dich ab und zu
So dare you from time to time
Denn irgendwann vermisst du's
Because at some point you miss it
Was du nicht tust
What you don't do
Was du nicht tust
What you don't do
It's never too late
It's never too late
It's never too late
It's never too late
It's never too late
It's never too late
It's never too late
It's never too late
Erster blues dann mit zwanzig
First blues then at twenty
Wollt' drüber wegkomm'n, doch ich kann's nicht
Want to get over it, but I can't
Erstes mal, erstes glück, erster knick
First time, first luck, first kink
Vergess' sie nie, doch will sie auch nicht zurück
Never forget her, but she doesn't want to go back
Vierundzwanzig und lost
Twenty-four and lost
Mitgeschwomm'n, schreibtischjob
Sponge'n, desk job
Alles okay, alles taub, alles medium
Everything okay, everything deaf, everything medium
Pilgerweg bringt nach jahr'n erst bewegung
Pilgrimage trail brings first movement after years
Neuer mensch anfang dreißig
New man in his early thirties
Bleibt nicht für immer so, das weiß ich
Don't stay like this forever, I know that
Jeder tag wilde fahrt, alles klappt
Every day wild ride, everything works
Blend' alles aus, dass ich nix verpass
Blend everything out that I don't miss anything
Und fünfunddreißig bis jetzt
And thirty-five so far
Wird langsam zeit für nächste steps
Will slowly time for next steps
Was mit kids und mit haus und mit hochzeit
What about kids and with house and with wedding
Spät dran wie immer, doch das alles kommt gleich
Late as always, but it all comes the same
Du bereust nicht, was du tust
You don't regret what you're doing
Du bereust, was du nicht tust
You regret what you don't do
Was du nicht tust
What you don't do
Also trau dich ab und zu
So dare you from time to time
Denn irgendwann vermisst du's
Because at some point you miss it
Was du nicht tust
What you don't do
Was du nicht tust
What you don't do
It's never too late
It's never too late
It's never too late
It's never too late
It's never too late
It's never too late
It's never too late
It's never too late
Du bereust nicht, was du tust
You don't regret what you're doing
Du bereust, was du nicht tust
You regret what you don't do
Was du nicht tust
What you don't do
Also trau dich ab und zu
So dare you from time to time
Denn irgendwann vermisst du's
Because at some point you miss it
Was du nicht tust
What you don't do
Was du nicht tust
What you don't do
It's never too late
It's never too late
It's never too late
It's never too late
It's never too late
It's never too late
It's never too late
It's never too late
