Zeit Zu Gehen Lyrics in English Unheilig

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Zeit Zu Gehen by Unheilig from German to English.
So many words have been written
So many dreams have been lived
You carried us with applause
We were allowed to stand on the summit
But nothing in life is endless
The abyss follows the zenith
Every memory is too valuable
To only see an end out of pride
It's time to go
We thank you for all the years
Even if it hurts
It's time for us to go
When it's at its best
It's time to go
It's time to go
We will carry you in our hearts
Even if it hurts
It's time for us to go
When it's at its best
No moment is ever lost
If it lives on in the heart
Life will be different now
But the memory will remain forever
We will never forget you
Each of us goes their own way
Our fortune bears your name
You have shown that anything is possible
It's time to go
We thank you for all the years
Even if it hurts
It's time for us to go
When it's at its best
It's time to go
It's time to go
We will carry you in our hearts
Even if it hurts, it's time for us to go
When it's at its best
It's time to go
No tear shall accompany us
No matter where the journey goes
All the beautiful images will remain
When our time has come
Once more we want to hear your voices
Once more see your hands
Let's celebrate farewell together
And stand together in the heart for all time
It's time to go
We thank you for all the years
Even if it hurts
It's time for us to go
When it's at its best
It's time to go
It's time to go
We will carry you in our hearts
Even if it hurts, it's time for us to go
When it's at its best
It's time to go
It's time to go

SONG MEANING

“Zeit Zu Gehen” feels like Unheilig’s heartfelt last bow on a brightly lit stage. The lyrics read as a loving thank-you note to the fans who cheered the band from small clubs all the way to stadium peaks. Gratitude pours through lines like “Wir danken Euch für all die Jahre” (“We thank you for all the years”), yet every “Es ist Zeit, zu gehen” (“It is time to leave”) reminds us that even the most dazzling show must end. The song captures that bittersweet point where success is at its height but the artists consciously choose to step away while the memories are still warm and glowing.

Beyond a simple farewell, the track offers a gentle life lesson. Moments may pass, performances may close, but shared experiences live on in the heart. By celebrating the past instead of mourning it, Unheilig invites listeners to honor their own chapters of change: cherish triumphs, accept endings, and move forward carrying the best images within. It is a tender anthem for anyone standing at the edge of goodbye, reminding us that no tear is needed when memories shine this brightly.
