Translation of Tiefflieger from German to English
We were low-flyers, moped gangsters
Knew nothing, but everything better
Dreamed at night of girls and tattoos
And even though we are older and fatter today
Basically, nothing has changed
If you want to compete with us, try
Can you still remember
How it was back then
We lived carefree
From night to night
From day to day
The old songs
I listened to them again
Recently
Found them
On a cassette
Almost destroyed
We could still spend the summer
On a meadow
With a fire
And the very best friends
I still hear their laughter today
I still hear the songs of longing and rebellion
Against parents and teachers
Against parents and teachers
We were low-flyers, moped gangsters
Knew nothing, but everything better
Dreamed at night of girls and tattoos
And even though we are older and fatter today
Basically, nothing has changed
If you want to compete with us, try
Those were songs
Of longing
Were songs of happiness
For one, it came true
For the other, nothing
Had I laughed back then
Had I known
What some
Are doing today
Are doing today
We were low-flyers, moped gangsters
Knew nothing, but everything better
Dreamed at night of girls and tattoos
And even though we are older and fatter today
Basically, nothing has changed
If you want to compete with us, try
There were Tom and Lisa
And they were still a couple
Today Tom clings to the bottle
Lisa is no longer there
Many faces
Some names
I don't know anymore today
But I would recognize you
It was so long ago
And I am glad
When I see you again
Because you always
See each other twice
We were low-flyers, moped gangsters
Knew nothing, but everything better
Dreamed at night of girls and tattoos
And even though we are older and fatter today
Basically, nothing has changed
If you want to compete with us, try
We were low-flyers, moped gangsters
