Genau Jetzt Lyrics in English Nena

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Genau Jetzt by Nena from German to English.
Maybe it's too late
Maybe it's too early
Maybe it's right now
Maybe it's too early
Maybe it's too late
Maybe it's right now
Right now
One moment
Two people
One soul
One heart
Two people
One moment
Two opinions
One end
Sometimes two are one
And sometimes two are two
Sometimes it's 'hello'
And sometimes it's 'bye bye'
Bye bye
Maybe it's too late
Maybe it's too early
Maybe it's right now
Right now
Maybe it's too early
Maybe it's too late
Maybe it's right now
Right now
Right now
At the moment
Nobody knows what tomorrow brings
Live in the moment now
If you fall on your face get up and
Keep running
The moment when it begins
The moment when it falls apart
The moment when a stranger becomes a friend
Or a friend so strange
So strange
Maybe it's too late
Maybe it's too early
Maybe it's right now
Right now
Maybe it's too early
Maybe it's too late
Maybe it's right now
Right now
Right now
Maybe it's too late
Maybe it's too early
Maybe it's right now
Right now
Maybe it's too early
Maybe it's too late
Maybe it's right now
Right now

SONG MEANING

Genau Jetzt (which means Exactly Now) is Nena’s vibrant reminder that life’s perfect timing is rarely clear. With the playful refrain “Vielleicht ist es zu früh, vielleicht ist es zu spät, vielleicht ist es genau jetzt” (Maybe it’s too early, maybe it’s too late, maybe it’s right now), she captures that jittery moment when we wonder whether to leap, hold back, or walk away. The song flashes through snapshots of two people who can be united as one heart or split into two opinions, showing how quickly Hallo can flip to Bye bye.

Rather than giving a tidy answer, Nena celebrates uncertainty: tomorrow is unknown, so choose right now. Trip and fall? Get up and keep running. Friendships can blossom or fade in a heartbeat, and that fragile instant is where possibility lives. Packed with upbeat energy and a seize-the-day spirit, the track urges listeners to trust the present moment, breathe it in, and dance forward before doubt says it’s too late.
