21, 22, 23 English translation
von AnnenMayKantereit

And you turn 21, 22, 23
You can't possibly know what you want yet
And you turn 24, 25, 26
And you don't dance like you used to anymore

And you and your friends
You're all studying
And you're waiting for
Something to happen

Do you even have a clue where you are right now?
And you're wasting your youth
Between pubs and shared apartments

And you turn 21, 22, 23
You can't possibly know what you want yet
And you turn 24, 25, 26
And you don't dance like you used to anymore


And sometimes you get melancholic in the streetlamp light
You go out partying on the weekend
And of course, you get drunk
And you deliberately keep your dreams small
So you don't end up disappointed

And you turn 21, 22, 23
You can't possibly know what you want yet
And you turn 24, 25, 26
And you don't dance like you used to anymore

And you always say it's not your fault
And you order another beer
And when I ask you what you want to be
You always just say "I don't know." The main thing is not mid-thirties
The main thing is not mid-30s"

And you turn 21, 22, 23
And you still don't know what you want
And you turn 24, 25, 26
And you don't dance like you used to anymore

And you'll turn 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29...
