Translation of 2006 from German to English
If I could travel through time in a fast car
I would do everything all over again, exactly the same
Send me back to the time when no one knew me
And I would do anything to make you recognize me again
If I were suddenly 16 again
Then there would be a text in my math notebook
Screw school, I would leave
Not because I knew I would be rich someday
No, because I know this time is fleeting
If I were suddenly young again (young again)
Then Dad would still be around
And I swear I would be there for him more
And Grandma would never be alone with the couple in the park
Because she can love Grandpa again like on the very first day
I close my eyes it's 2006
But long before the raps and the nightliner bed
We felt grown up, had secret sex
And I would drink it again, even if wine doesn't taste good yet
If it were 2006 (2006)
Then I would certainly have no fight with the ex
Would be far away from her, this time is perfect
So screw the rest
But what you had back then, you only realize now
And in school the report card was rather bad
And after the second bell, the new kid was still not in
I'm supposed to change, but I dreamed of winning
If I hadn't listened to myself, I wouldn't be who I am today
So send me back, I would write exactly the same songs
Every word, every line, I would write them again
Every night, until 8, stayed up, then asked
Do I stay awake or should I just stay in bed today?
Grabbed the pencil lead, write like a typewriter
Write about hate and love, don't waste time
Keep writing, my line, even if I don't earn a prize
I write like a rhyme machine, as if it were the second Bible
But unfortunately many don't realize that I love this shit
Mostly real motherfuckers with a nasty envy-mine
I keep writing my songs, you're just the second league
Send me back and I'll write exactly the same thing again
