I'm Forty Now - Tom T. Halltranslation in German

I'm Forty Now

Ich bin jetzt vierzig

There were barefoot dreams of catching outlaws

Es gab barfüßige Träume, Gesetzlose zu fangen

There were school dreams of catching footballs

Es gab Schulträume, Footballbälle zu fangen

There were young dreams of finding great romance

Es gab junge Träume, die große Liebe zu finden

There were armies and I took the chance

Es gab Armeen und ich ergriff die Chance

There were avenues of glory and some deep despair

Es gab Wege des Ruhms und tiefe Verzweiflung

That put subtle shapes of silver in my hair

Die feine Silberstreifen in mein Haar brachten

Well I'm forty now and I'm a man

Nun, ich bin jetzt vierzig und ich bin ein Mann

But I can't resist the urge to put dreams in my plans

Aber ich kann dem Drang nicht widerstehen, Träume in meine Pläne einzubauen

So many hopeless dreams and I broke some vows

So viele hoffnungslose Träume und ich habe einige Schwüre gebrochen

Maybe life begins for me, I'm forty now

Vielleicht beginnt das Leben für mich, ich bin jetzt vierzig

There were summer nights and there were good days

Es gab Sommernächte und es gab gute Tage

Life was water and I made waves

Das Leben war Wasser und ich schlug Wellen

Oh I was crazy then so I made some breaks

Oh, ich war damals verrückt, also habe ich einige Regeln gebrochen

Maybe God can look the other way

Vielleicht kann Gott wegschauen

Either good outweighs the bad or we forget the bad

Entweder überwiegt das Gute das Schlechte, oder wir vergessen das Schlechte

I'm thankful for a few friends that I've had

Ich bin dankbar für die wenigen Freunde, die ich gehabt habe

'Cause I'm forty now and I'm a man

Denn ich bin jetzt vierzig und ich bin ein Mann

But I can't resist the urge to put dreams in my plans

Aber ich kann dem Drang nicht widerstehen, Träume in meine Pläne einzubauen

So many hopeless dreams and I broke some vows

So viele hoffnungslose Träume und ich habe einige Schwüre gebrochen

Maybe life begins for me, I'm forty now

Vielleicht beginnt das Leben für mich, ich bin jetzt vierzig

Well I'm forty now

Nun, ich bin jetzt vierzig
