Lyrics:

[Deutsch]

[English]

Uns oin is die Zeit zu gehen bestimmt

It's our time to go, that's for sure

Wie a Blattl trogn vom Wind

Like a leaf carried by the wind

Geht's zum Ursprung zruck als Kind

Back to where we came from as kids

Wenn des Bluat in deine Adern gfriert

When blood in your veins turns cold

Wei dei Herz aufhört zu schlogn

Because your heart stops beating

Und du aufi zu die Engerl fliagst

And you take flight to the angels above

Dann hob ka Angst und loss di anfoch trogn

Then there's no fear, just let yourself go

Weil es gibt was nach dem Lebm, du wirst scho segn

There's something beyond this life, you'll see

Amoi seg ma uns wieder

One day we'll meet again

Amoi schau i a von obm zua

One day I’ll look down from above

Auf meine oitn Tag leg i mi dankend nieder

Lay my head in grateful rest on my old day

Und moch für olle Zeitn meine Augen zua

And close my eyes for all the times

...

All that remains are memories

Ois wos bleibt ist die Erinnerung

And slowly it becomes clear

Und schön langsam wird da kloar

That nothing is the same as before

Dass nix mehr is wias woar

Then hope for a reunion

Dann soll die Hoffnung auf a Wiedesehn

Gives strength to my heartbeat, to keep on living

Mir die Kroft in mein Herzschlog legn, um weiter zu lebm

One day we'll meet again

Amoi seg ma uns wieder

One day I’ll look down from above

Amoi schau i a von obm zua

Lay my head in grateful rest on my old day

Auf meine oitn Tag leg i mi dankend nieder

And close my eyes for all the times

Und moch für olle Zeitn meine Augen zua

A light shines softly into eternity

A Liacht sui da leichtn bis in die Ewigkeit

In memory of the time we had

Zur Erinnerung an die Lebenszeit

One day we’ll meet again

Amoi seg ma uns wieder

One day I’ll look down from above

Amoi schau i a von obm zua

Lay my head in grateful rest on my old day

Auf meine oitn Tag leg i mi dankend nieder

And close my eyes for all the times

Und moch für olle Zeitn meine Augen zua

In memory of the life we've lived

Auf meine oitn Tag leg i mi dankend nieder

Lay my head in grateful rest on my old day

Und moch für olle Zeitn meine Augen zua

And close my eyes for all the times

...

In memory of the life we've lived
