By a wiser man he was told
"Time is your enemy as you get old"
Now faced with his mortality
He thought "I´ll live my life intensely"
I´ll be no man of lesser will
Top every mountain, cross every hill
I´ll live ten days to your one
And will not rest ´til all prices won
Refrain:
Zeit verfliegt, Zeit verrinnt
Vergiss niemals, Du wirst alt mein Kind!
To seize all time is my secret
I´ll possess what you´ll never get
I will do everything, nothing´s too much
Every good looking thing I will touch
All world wonders I will see
Only sleep five hours ... that´s the key
Refrain:
Zeit verfliegt, Zeit verrinnt
Vergiss niemals, Du wirst alt mein Kind!
He worked like hell everyday
Said "When I die I´ll sleep anway"
Died in his prime, acted in haste
The beauty of life he didn´t taste
Refrain:
Zeit verfliegt, Zeit verrinnt
Vergiss niemals, Du wirst alt mein Kind! (2x)
Zeit verfliegt, Zeit verrinnt
Es wurde nicht alt, das Kind!
"Time is your enemy as you get old"
Now faced with his mortality
He thought "I´ll live my life intensely"
I´ll be no man of lesser will
Top every mountain, cross every hill
I´ll live ten days to your one

Zeit verfliegt, Zeit verrinnt
Vergiss niemals, Du wirst alt mein Kind!
To seize all time is my secret
I´ll possess what you´ll never get
I will do everything, nothing´s too much

All world wonders I will see
