Du kannst nicht immer 17 sein English translation
von Chris Roberts

You can't always be seventeen
Darling, you can't
But life will still give you
What it promises you at seventeen

One day you'll be seventy
Then I'll still be with you
Because you'll always, always be loved by me

You love music and the sound of the guitar
And you live from laughing and dancing all these years
But time passes so quickly
And then there will be other things for the two of us

You can't always be seventeen
Darling, you can't
But life will still give you
What it promises you at seventeen

One day you'll be seventy
Then I'll still be with you
Because you'll always, always be loved by me


Look in the mirror how beautiful you are
Still beautiful in the years when there's silver in your hair
Look forward with me to the good times
When the summer of life scatters roses of love

You can't always be seventeen
Darling, you can't
But life will still give you
What it promises you at seventeen

One day you'll be seventy
Then I'll still be with you
Because you'll always, always be loved by me

With you, every day is so beautiful
So let the time with you go on like this

You can't always be seventeen
Darling, you can't
But life will still give you
What it promises you at seventeen

One day you'll be seventy
Then I'll still be with you
Because you'll always, always be loved by me
Yes, you'll always, always be loved by me
