Aha, so you know what's up:
This is for you guys, for everyone here
What a great evening! Thank you very much! (Come on!)
We are big together
We are one together (one!)
Come on, let’s stay a little more connected
Raise your fins high
And your cups too
Tonight we celebrate until dawn
When I say: "Like pot and lid"
When I say: "Like snot and spoon"
When I say: "Like lightning and thunder"
Quite literally without a pause
When I say: "Like pitch and sulfur"
When I say: "Like heart and soul"
When I say: "For the rest of our lives"
Everyone knows what we’re talking about
Yeah, man, because being alone is out
The days are gone when you didn’t trust anyone
If they ask you: "Are you alone here?"
Tell them: "No, because I’m with everyone here"
We, we are inseparable
We, we are unmistakable
We’re building ourselves a monument (ohh)
We are big together
We are one together
Come on, let’s stay a little more connected
Raise your fins high
And your cups too
Tonight we celebrate until dawn
Because only together are you not alone (not alone!)
Come on, let’s share everything
Because only together are you not alone
Come on, let’s stay a little more connected
When I say: "Like man and woman"
Together, just like "yeah, exactly" (exactly!)
Together, with ups and downs
Like old and gray, like never leaving
Together, like fire on a barrel
Together, like carpooling
Almost tailor-made
No one’s been like this before
Together, like true friendship
Together, like Clueso and Fantas
Proposing marriage to the whole squad
Our story goes way back
We are inseparable
We, we are unmistakable
We’re building a monument for you (ohh)
We are big together
We are one together
Come on, let’s stay a little more connected
Raise your fins high
And your cups too
Tonight we celebrate until dawn
Because only together are you not alone
Come on, let’s share everything
Because only together are you not alone
Come on, let’s stay a little more connected
Because we’re right here
Always together like beats and bass
Up-The-Shut-Fuck-You-Must
Because nothing fits in between
There’s no too deep or too shallow here
Too this, too that
Too close, too long
We stay together
To all loyal couples
Good friends, many years
There’s no "I" in this "We"
Because you see yourself in these four
La Familia, the feeling’s there
Turn night into day until afternoon, yeah
Come on, we celebrate today’s unity, yeah
We are big together
We are one together
Come on, let’s stay a little more connected
Raise your fins high (Cologne!)
And your cups too
Tonight we celebrate until dawn
Because only together are you not alone
Come on, let’s share everything
Because only together are you not alone
Come on, let’s stay a little more connected
A little more, just a little more
A-little more, please, a little more
A little more, just a little more
A-little more, please, just a little more

Sowas schaffen wir nur zusammen

Wir sind zusammen groß
➔ Adjective used as adverb after the verb "sein"

Komm lass 'n bisschen noch zusammen bleiben
➔ Imperative with ellipsis and shortened form ('n) of "ein" (a bit)

Wenn ich sag: "So wie Topf und Deckel"
➔ Subjunctive I (Konjunktiv I) in reported speech (")

➔ Comparative construction "so wie..."
➔ "So wie" introduces a comparison. "So wie alt und grau" means as old and gray. "So wie nie abgehauen" means like never having left (deserted). The construction emphasizes the closeness.

Weil nichts dazwischen passt
➔ Relative pronoun "dazwischen" referring to an implied space or relationship.
