Ein Leben lang ist nicht lang English translation
von Peter Maffay & Johannes Oerding

One, two, three

Life is turbulent and sometimes throws us off
But maybe we were made to ride the rodeo
We get back up from the dust because we've done it before (hm)
Up and down, fair enough, not everything worked out
We simply regret nothing, just like Édith Piaf
Come on, let's promise ourselves: "No more 'what ifs'"
Je ne regrette rien

I hope that even in a hundred years
We'll still remember everything we have right now
I hope that even in a hundred years
We won't look back and say, "I wish I'd done it"

A lifetime isn't long
A lifetime isn't long
A lifetime isn't long
Come on, let's start living it now


Only forward, not in circles like a clock on the wall
You only grow old too fast if you stand still too long
That's why we'll walk together, and every burden feels lighter
Let's not just be something, let's become something
No one knows what's still to come, the future is written in the stars
And no matter if they say everything has its time
We're far from being finished

I hope that even in a hundred years
We'll still remember everything we have right now
I hope that even in a hundred years
We won't look back and say, "I wish I'd done it"

A lifetime isn't long
A lifetime isn't long
A lifetime isn't long
Come on, let's start living it now

I hope that even in a hundred years
We won't look back and say, "I wish I'd done it"

A lifetime isn't long
A lifetime isn't long (isn't long)
A lifetime isn't long (oh no)
Come on, let's start living it now (oh-oh, oh)
A lifetime isn't long
(Oh, a lifetime isn't long)
A lifetime isn't long (a lifetime isn't long)
Come on, let's start living it now (start living it now)
