Früher war alles besser
Everything used to be better
Die armen waren reicher und die reichen etwas ärmer
The poor were richer and the rich were a little poorer
Die kissen waren weicher, und die sommer waren wärmer
The pillows were softer, and the summers were warmer
Die tage waren heller und die nächte länger
The days were brighter and the nights longer
Die röcke waren kürzer und die tops enger
The skirts were shorter and the tops tighter
Es gab nur drei programme im tv
There were only three programs on tv
Die war'n zwar ganz genau so schlecht wie heute
It was just as bad as it is today
Doch es waren nicht so viele
But there were not so many
Die kugel eis für nur dreißig pfennig in der eisdiele. früher
The ball ice for only thirty pfennig in the ice cream parlour. Earlier

Früher war alles besser
Everything used to be better
Früher konnte man probleme lösen
In the past, problems could be solved
Es gab die guten und die bösen
There were the good and the evil
Die bösen saßen tief im osten
The evil ones sat deep in the east
Die guten hier im westen
The good ones here in the west
Auf ziemlich hohen kosten
At fairly high cost
Um den bösen klar zu machen
To make the evil one clear
'hört auf zu lachen!
'Stop laughing!
Wir ham die größere rakete!!'
We ham the bigger rocket!!'
Naja, das kostete halt knete
Well, that just cost kneading
Und als die bösen pleite waren
And when the evil ones were broke
Stellte sich heraus
It turned out
So böse seh'n die gar nicht aus. früher
They don't look so evil. Earlier

Früher war alles besser
Everything used to be better
Es gab keine handys, nicht mal telefonkarten
There were no mobile phones, not even phone cards
Man konnte stundenlang an der zelle warten!
You could wait for hours at the cell!
Und wenn man endlich dran war
And when it was finally your turn
Und hatte keinen groschen
And had no penny
Ist die lust am telefonier'n von ganz allein erloschen
Is the lust at telefonier'n extinguished by all alone
Das war viel billiger!
That was much cheaper!
Früher war'n die frauen williger
In the past, the women were more willing
Zumindest mir gegenüber
At least to me
Da komm' ich echt nich' drüber
I really don't get over it
Früher war alles viel besser. früher
Everything used to be much better. Earlier

Earlier
Früher war alles besser
Everything used to be better
Früher hieß es 'klotzen, nicht kleckern!'
It used to be said 'knock, don't clap!'
Ich finde es zum kotzen
I find it to joke
Dass heute alle meckern
That today everyone is complaining
Dass früher alles besser war
That everything used to be better
Für mich ist völlig klar
For me it is absolutely clear
Das ham die leute früher nicht gemacht
That ham the people used not made
Die haben sich gedacht
They thought
'tolle zeiten, mann!'
'Great times, man!'
Die waren froh und bescheiden
They were happy and humble
Alle waren nett und jeder konnte jeden leiden
Everyone was nice and everyone could suffer everyone
Früher war alles viel besser. früher
Everything used to be much better. Earlier
