Paroles et traduction Kurt Ostbahn - Alt und Jung

Alt und Jung

A jeder glaubt von Zeit zu Zeit
Es rennt eam was davon
Waß net, da si in Wirklichkeit
Nur wenig wirklich lohnt
Guat drauf sei muaßt a ohne G'walt
Net immer nur am Sprung
Dafür war i früher z'alt
Und heut' bin i zu jung

Alles, was dir no net g'hört
Und des is ziemlich vü
Hat vielleicht kan echten Wert
Wer was scho, was er wü
Ma soll des Leb'n net erpressen
Nur weil ma's net versteht
Wann du alt bist, hast es scho vergessn
Wannst jung bist, waßt es net

Jeden Tag passiert so vü
Was du net ganz vastehst
Und du hast vielleicht des G'fühl
Dass'd in die falsche Richtung gehst
Brauchst ka Angst hab'n, brauchst net rearn
Brauchst net alls vasteh
Wann du alt bist, wird's di nimma störn
Wannst jung bist, tut's nua weh

Glaub net, da du was B'sonders bist
Dann wirst'd was B'sonders sein
Glaub net afoch jeden Mist
Den's heite außeschrei'n
Laß net zua, dass irgendwer
Über di bestimmt
Wann du alt bist, is des nimma schwer
Wannst jung bist, lernst des g'schwind

Du glaubst, du hast es in da Hand
Kann sei, dass des net stimmt
Glauben is wie Wüstensand
Der in der Hand zerrinnt
Glaub'n reicht net, du muaßt wiss'n
Wissen, wer du bist
Dann, dann kannst dei Leb'n genießen
Egal, wie alt du bist
Egal, wie alt du bist
Egal, wie alt du bist
Egal, wie alt du bist

Young and Old

Everyone believes from time to time
Something's running away from them
Not knowing that in reality
Little is truly worth it
You have to be happy without force
Not always being on the run
I used to be too old for that
And today I'm too young

Everything that does not belong to you yet
And that's quite a lot
May not have any real value
Who already knows what he wants
You shouldn't extort life
Just because you don't understand it
When you're old, you'll have forgotten
When you're young, you don't

So much happens every day
That you don't quite understand
And you may have the feeling
That you're going in the wrong direction
Don't worry, don't cry
You don't need to understand everything
When you're old, it won't bother you anymore
When you're young, it only hurts

Don't think you're something special
Then you'll be something special
Don't believe every piece of crap
That's being screamed out today
Don't let anyone
Determine your life
When you're old, it's no longer difficult
When you're young, you learn it quickly

You think you have it under control
Could be that you're wrong
Believing is like desert sand
That trickles through your hand
Believing is not enough, you have to know
Know who you are
Then, then you can enjoy your life
No matter how old you are
No matter how old you are
No matter how old you are
No matter how old you are
