[English]

You were always there

Always there, always there

Like every summer

In front, Dad and Mom

And behind us kids

Heading towards Tuscany

In our old station wagon

Sweating on the back seat

And as loud as we could, the new BRAVO Hits

Back in school

Loving the breaks

Every time in the yard

Practicing Beyoncé

And then first love

Still know our song today

It's over, but I cried for hours on my Discman

The red thread in my life story

If I get lost, you bring me back

No matter where I was, where I was, where I was

You were always there, always there, always there

You turn up with me when I want to dance

Chaos in me, but you make it quiet

You make every feeling twice as loud

Wiping tears on the train or the wildest night

You were always there, always there, always there

(You were always there)

...

(You were always there)

You are my home base

My safe space

I close my eyes briefly

And you take me away

You're everyday magic

My secret hideout

With you, I fall asleep

And wake up to you

Sound of Rihanna

Was the first party, bad drinks

And Coldplay

Will always sound like home to me

No matter where I was, where I was, where I was

You were always there, always there, always there

You turn up with me when I want to dance

Chaos in me, but you make it quiet

You make every feeling twice as loud

Wiping tears on the train or the wildest night

You were always there, always there, always there

(You were always there)

...

(You were always there, always there, always there)

(You were always there)

...

[German]

Du warst immer da

Immer da, immer da

So wie jeden Sommer

Vorne Papa und Mama

Und hinten wir Kinder

In Richtung Toskana

In unser'm alten Combi

Auf der Rückbank geschwitzt

Und so laut es grade ging die neue BRAVO Hits

Damals in der Schule

Die Pausen geliebt

Jedes Mal auf dem Hof

Beyoncé geübt

Und dann die erste Liebe

Kenn' unser'n Song noch heut'

Es ist vorbei, doch stundenlang auf meinen Discman geheult

Der rote Faden in mei'm Lebenslauf

Wenn ich mich verlier', dann holst du mich daraus

Egal wo ich war, wo ich war, wo ich war

Du warst immer da, immer da, immer da

Du drehst mit mir auf, wenn ich tanzen will

Tobt in mir das Chaos, dann machst du's still

Hast jedes Gefühl doppelt so laut gemacht

Verheult in der Bahn oder die wildeste Nacht

Du warst immer da, immer da, immer da

(Du warst immer da)

(Du warst immer da)

Du bist meine Homebase

Mein Zufluchtsort

Ich schließ' kurz die Augen

Und du bringst mich fort

Bist Alltagsmagie

Mein Geheimversteck

Mit dir schlaf' ich ein

Und von dir werd' ich geweckt

Sound Rihanna

War die erste Party, schlechte Drinks

Und Coldplay

Wird für mich immer nach Heimat kling'n

Egal wo ich war, wo ich war, wo ich war

Du warst immer da, immer da, immer da

Du drehst mit mir auf, wenn ich tanzen will

Tobt in mir das Chaos, dann machst du's still

Hast jedes Gefühl doppelt so laut gemacht

Verheult in der Bahn oder die wildeste Nacht

Du warst immer da, immer da, immer da

(Du warst immer da)

(Du warst immer da, immer da, immer da)

(Du warst immer da)
