Lyrics and translation Bap - Verdamp Lang Her

Verdamp Lang Her

Verdamp lang her, dat ich fass alles ähnz nohm
Verdamp lang her, dat ich an jet jejläuv
Un dann dä Schock, wie et anders op mich zokohm
Merkwürdich, wo su manche Haas langläuf
Nit resigniert, nur reichlich desillusioniert
E bessje jet hann ich kapiert

Wer alles, wenn dir et klapp, hinger dir herrennt
Ding Schulder klopp, wer dich nit all hofiert
Sich ohne ruut ze weede dinge Fründ nennt
Un dich daachs drop janz einfach ignoriert
Et ess lang her, dat ich vüür sujet ratlos stund
Un vüür Enttäuschung echt ni' mieh kunnt

Ich weiß noch, wie ich nur dovun gedräump hann
Wovunn ich nit woss, wie ich et sööke sollt
Vüür lauter Söökerei et Finge jlatt versäump hann
Un övverhaup, wat ich wo finge wollt
Ne Kopp voll nix, nur die paar instinktive Tricks
Et duhrt lang, besste dich durchblicks

Dat woor die Zick, wo ich noch nit ens Pech hat
Noch nit ens dat, ich hatt se nit ens satt
He woor John Steinbeck, do stund Joseph Conrad
Dozweschen ich, nur relativ schachmatt
Et ess paar Johr her, doch die Erinnerung fällt nit schwer
Hück kütt mer vüür, als wenn et jestern wöör

Verdamp lang her, verdamp lang
Verdamp lang her
Verdamp lang her, verdamp lang
Verdamp lang her

Frööchs mich, wann ich zoletz e Bild jemohlt hann
Ob mir e Leed tatsächlich jetz jenüsch
Ob ich jetz do benn, wo ich hinjewollt hann
Ob mir ming Färv op die Tour nit verdrüsch
Ich jläuv, ich weiß, ob du nu laut mohls oder leis
Kütt nur drop ahn, dat de et deiß

Verdamp lang her, verdamp lang
Verdamp lang her
Verdamp lang her, verdamp lang
Verdamp lang her

Verdamp lang her, dat ich bei dir ahm Jraav woor
Verdamp lang her, dat mir jesprochen hann
Un dat vum eine och jet beim andere ahnkohm
Su lang, dat ich mich kaum erinnre kann
Häss fess jejläuv, dat wer em Himmel op dich waat
"Ich jönn et dir", hann ich jesaat

Verdamp lang her, verdamp lang
Verdamp lang her
Verdamp lang her, verdamp lang
Verdamp lang her

Verdamp lang her, verdamp lang
Verdamp lang her
Verdamp lang her, verdamp lang
Verdamp lang her
Verdamp lang her, verdamp lang
Verdamp lang her
Verdamp lang her, verdamp lang
Verdamp lang her

Ages Ago

Ages ago, I took everything for granted
Ages ago, I believed in something
Then the shock, as it all came crashing down
Strange, how some hares run such a long race
Not resigned, just thoroughly disillusioned
I've grasped a little something

Who chases you when you succeed
Pats your back, who doesn't always admire you
Calls themselves your friend without hesitation
And simply ignores you the next day
It's been a long time since I was at a loss for words
And really couldn't take the disappointment anymore

I still remember how I only dreamed of it
Where I didn't know how to search for it
Missed finding it completely because of all the searching
And above all, what I wanted to find there
A head full of nothing, just a few instinctive tricks
It takes a long time to figure things out

That was the time when I didn't even have bad luck
Not even that, I wasn't even tired of it
Here was John Steinbeck, there stood Joseph Conrad
In between, me, just relatively checkmated
It's been a few years, but the memory isn't difficult
Today it feels like it was yesterday

Ages ago, ages ago
Ages ago
Ages ago, ages ago
Ages ago

Ask me when I last painted a picture
Whether a song is really enough for me now
Whether I am now where I wanted to go
Whether I'm not messing up my colors on this tour
I believe, I know, whether you speak loudly or softly now
It only depends on you doing it this way

Ages ago, ages ago
Ages ago
Ages ago, ages ago
Ages ago

Ages ago, I was at your grave
Ages ago, we spoke
And that something from one reached the other
So long ago that I can hardly remember
You almost believed that someone was waiting for you in heaven
"I'll give it to you," I said

Ages ago, ages ago
Ages ago
Ages ago, ages ago
Ages ago

Ages ago, ages ago
Ages ago
Ages ago, ages ago
Ages ago
Ages ago, ages ago
Ages ago
Ages ago, ages ago
Ages ago
