Текст и перевод песни Peter Cornelius - Es wird immer sei' wie's immer war

Es wird immer sei' wie's immer war

Mir klingt's heut no in di Ohr'n
Wie die Eltern zu mir sag'n
Wenn'st net lernst auf uns zu hör'n
Dann wird net viel aus dir wird'n.

Es wird immer sei' wie's immer war.
Es is gut gemeint, des ist scho klar.
Doch a jeder geht sein eigenen Weg,
Nur bei junge Leut' will des keiner versteh'.
A in zwei drei tausend Jahr,
Wird des sei' wie's immer war.

Mir klingt's heut no in di Ohr'n,
"Was hast du denn schon für Sorg'n.
Sag wie schaust denn wieder aus,
Geh so ja net aus'm Haus."

Es wird immer sei' wie's immer war.
Man hört Tag für Tag, - Jahr für Jahr,
Daß die Jugend einst viel besser war,
Wo doch jeder weiß, es is net wahr.
A in zwei drei tausend Jahr,
Wird des sei' wie's immer war.

Es wird immer sei' wie's immer war,
Denn a du vergißt nach a paar Jahr,
Daß du irgendwann selber so warst
Ganz genau so jung, - des ist klar.
A in zwei drei tausend Jahr,
Wird des sei' wie's immer war.

Es wird immer sei' wie's immer war.
So wird's ewig bleib'n des is ma klar.
Denn a jeder geht sein eigenen Weg,
Nur bei junge Leut' will des keiner versteh'.

Things Will Always Go On as They Always Have

I can still hear it today in my ears,
As my parents used to tell me,
If you don't learn to listen to us,
Nothing much will become of you.

Things will always go on as they always have.
It's well-intentioned, that much is clear.
But everyone goes their own way,
Only when it comes to young people, no one wants to understand that.
Even in two or three thousand years,
It'll be as it always has been.

I can still hear it today in my ears,
"What do you have to worry about anyway.
Look at the state of you,
You can't go out of the house looking like that."

Things will always go on as they always have.
You hear it day after day, - year after year,
That young people used to be much better,
Even though everyone knows it's not true.
Even in two or three thousand years,
It'll be as it always has.

Things will always go on as they always have,
Because even you will forget after a few years,
That you were once like that yourself,
Just as young, - that's obvious.
Even in two or three thousand years,
It'll be as it always has.

Things will always go on as they always have.
That's how it will always be, I'm sure of it,
Because everyone goes their own way,
Only when it comes to young people, no one wants to understand that.
