Paroles et traduction Thomas D - 15 Min. of Fame

15 Min. of Fame

Sie haben dich gezogen aus millionen Idioten
Und du führst beim voten, und du schürst die Quoten
Und du spürst da oben is ein Platz für dich frei,
Du bist dabei unter den letzten drei, die letzten zwei und jetz vorbei
Die Lichter gehen aus, dann hörst deinen Namen im Finale und den Applaus,
Die Kamera in die Totale, in die Werbung, und klar, gleich danach After-Show, dann könnt ihr sehn wie′s war
Die Medien heben dich mit jenen die es gern gucken bald in schwindeleregende Höhen aller Sternschnuppen
Und sie feiern dich wie nie, doch im Grunde feiern sie das Ende deiner großen Viertelstunde

You had your 15 Minutes of Fame - und du hast unverschämt gut ausgesehn
You had your 15 Minutes of Fame - doch sei nich zu bequem um zu verstehn
You had your 15 Minutes of Fame - Das war dein Tag ab da war klar,
Du hattest eine Viertelstunde lang Zeit zu verstehn, irgendwann muss jeder gehn, auf Wiedersehn!

Die Crew, deine Fans, alle lichten dich ab,
Du und deine Band, alle dichten sich ab,
Festivals und Stadthallen buchen dich dann,
Sind die Charts mal am fallen, alle rufen dich an,
Denn deinen Manager dämmerts, sie überreden dich,
Denk doch mal nach, ohne glamour überleben wir nich
Sing lieber Lieder wie "Die Da" und haut das nich hin
Wirb schnell mit AOL und schon biste wieder drin
Und all die Medien erzählen welche Hobbies du hast
Und die Mädchen hört man reden wo du shoppen warst
Und alle Kritiker erbittern immer gegen dich,
Ziehn in die Charts und übergeben sich

You had your 15 Minutes of Fame - und du hast unverschämt gut ausgesehn
You had your 15 Minutes of Fame - du warst nur zu bequem um zu verstehn
You had your 15 Minutes of Fame - Das war dein Tag, ab da war klar,
Du hattest eine Viertelstunde lang Zeit zu verstehn, irgendwann muss jeder gehn, auf Wiedersehn!

Diesem Hype zu vertrauen is ne miese Fallen
You're goin′ up and down, runder komm'n se alle
Mal im Vertrau'n, du hast die Party deines Lebens gehabt,
Doch wenn dir′s Ende zu hart is, dann hast n Fehler gemacht,
Schmink′s dir ab, dein Tatoo ist nur aufgemalt,
Deine Fresse wurd gefährlich oft ausgestrahlt,
Hast vergessen dass sich ehrlichkeit ausbezahlt
Und die Presse verstärkt es noch tausendmal,
Doch kein Sorge, die ham morgen schon n neues Gesicht,
Die Show geht weiter, nur ab heude leider ohne dich,
Immerhin warst ein bisschen am Schweben,
Für ne knappe Viertelstunde deines Lebens

You had your 15 Minutes of Fame - und du hast unverschämt gut ausgesehn
You had your 15 Minutes of Fame - du warst nur zu bequem um zu verstehn
You had your 15 Minutes of Fame - Das war dein Tag, ab da war klar,
Du hattest eine Viertelstunde lang Zeit zu verstehn, irgendwann muss jeder gehn, auf Wiedersehn!

You had your 15 Minutes of Fame - Alle Anrufe zähl'n, ab jetz′ könn'n se wähl′n
You had your 10 Minutes of Fame - und gleich nach der Werbung, da werden wir sehn
You had 5 Minutes of Fame - Letzte Frage, wieviel Tage hat die Zeit deines Lebens
You got 1 Minute of Fame, denn irgendwann muss jeder gehn, auf Wiedersehn!

15 Minutes of Fame

They pulled you from millions of fools,
And you lead the votes, and you stir the ratings,
And you feel there's a place for you up there,
You're among the last three, the last two, and now it's over.
The lights go out, then you hear your name in the final and the applause,
The camera zooms out, into the commercial break, and of course, right after the after-show, then you can see how it was.
The media lift you, along with those who like to watch, soon to dizzying heights of all shooting stars.
And they celebrate you like never before, but basically, they celebrate the end of your big quarter of an hour.

You had your 15 Minutes of Fame - and you looked outrageously good,
You had your 15 Minutes of Fame - but don't get too comfortable to understand,
You had your 15 Minutes of Fame - That was your day, from then on it was clear,
You had a quarter of an hour to understand, everyone has to leave sometime, goodbye!

The crew, your fans, everyone takes pictures of you,
You and your band, everyone seals themselves off,
Festivals and city halls then book you,
When the charts are falling, everyone calls you,
Because your manager dawns, they persuade you,
Think about it, we can't survive without glamour,
Sing songs like "Die Da" and if that doesn't work,
Quickly advertise with AOL and you're back in.
And all the media tell what hobbies you have,
And the girls are heard talking about where you went shopping,
And all the critics always embitter against you,
Go into the charts and throw up.

You had your 15 Minutes of Fame - and you looked outrageously good,
You had your 15 Minutes of Fame - you were just too comfortable to understand,
You had your 15 Minutes of Fame - That was your day, from then on it was clear,
You had a quarter of an hour to understand, everyone has to leave sometime, goodbye!

Trusting this hype is a lousy trap,
You're going up and down, they all come full circle,
Just trust me, you've had the party of your life,
But if the ending is too hard for you, then you made a mistake,
Take it off, your tattoo is just painted on,
Your face has been broadcast dangerously often,
You forgot that honesty pays off,
And the press amplifies it a thousand times,
But don't worry, they'll have a new face tomorrow,
The show goes on, just unfortunately without you from today,
At least you were floating a bit,
For a short quarter of an hour of your life.

You had your 15 Minutes of Fame - and you looked outrageously good,
You had your 15 Minutes of Fame - you were just too comfortable to understand,
You had your 15 Minutes of Fame - That was your day, from then on it was clear,
You had a quarter of an hour to understand, everyone has to leave sometime, goodbye!

You had your 15 Minutes of Fame - All calls count, from now on they can vote,
You had your 10 Minutes of Fame - and right after the commercial break, we'll see,
You had 5 Minutes of Fame - Last question, how many days does the time of your life have?
You got 1 Minute of Fame, because everyone has to leave sometime, goodbye!
