Paroles et traduction Wolfgang Ambros - Frage der Zeit

Frage der Zeit

Domois um die söwe Zeit,
Do woas no net so spät wia heit.
I waß net warum,
Oba domois woa a Stund net so schnö um.
Fria woa domois, heit is heit, alles nur a Frage der Zeit.
Domois is Vergangenheit,
Dazwischen liegt Vergänglichkeit.
I kann's net versteh'n,
Oba ans des is woah, die Zeit bleibt net steh'n.
Fria woa domois, heit is heit, alles nur a Frage der Zeit.
Waun ma so an fria denkt,
Wird die Gegenwart verdrängt.
Ma drinkt no an Schluck,
Und die Zeit draht si von söba um Jahre z'ruck.
Heit wird domois, domois wird heit, alles nur a Frage der Zeit.

A Matter of Time

Back in the day
Things weren't as late as they are today
I don't know why,
But back then, an hour didn't fly by so fast.
Back then was before, today is today, it's all just a matter of time.
Back then is the past,
In between lies transience.
I can't understand it,
But one thing is true, time doesn't stand still.
Back then was before, today is today, it's all just a matter of time.
When we think back to long ago,
The present fades away.
We have a drink,
And time itself turns back the years.
Today becomes the past, the past becomes today, it's all just a matter of time.
