dtm gold era song

can anyone translate this song, video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gw-AxiVqihM

mainly the part at 3.20 in. It's very catchy and id love to be able to sing along to it not just in german.

My guess was it is "what goes on here or something similar.

Though I can't help with the translation, I knew straight away what video you were talking about lol. It's a great video and song, I've watched it so many times I find myself trying to sing along half the time.

It's been a while, that I took almost everything serious. It's been a while, that I believed. And then the shock, when things turn out quite differently - strange how roads turn sometimes. Not yet resigned, but pretty much disillusioned - I understand just a bit by now.

When things go well and turn out right; they pat your back, and like to come your way. Call themselves your friend without blushing, and the next day ignore you right away. It's been a while that this left me clueless by surprize, and that disappointment dragged me down.

I remember dreaming of what I did not yet know how to look for it, and missed finding it because I was too busy searching. And totally missing to realize what I wanted to find. Clueless, just left with some tricks to play by instinct - it takes a while to see clearly.

It was a time where failure was not yet an option, a time I was not even fed up with yet. Torn between John Steinbeck and Joseph Conrad, stuck in the middle and relatively checkmate. It's been a few years, but the memory is right there - it feels like only yesterday. It's been a while.

You ask me when I painted the last picture, if a song indeed is all it takes to make me feel satisfied these days. If I was there where I so longed to be, if my colors would not dry out this way? I do know now, that it does not matter if you paint loudly or soft - it just matters that you do it. It's been a while.

It's been a while, that I did visit you at your grave; It's been a while that we talked. And that each of us reached out to each other, so long that I can't remember when. You always believed that somebody waits for you in heaven. You deserve it, is what I said. It's been a while.

cheers very much for that, i thought it was a really upbeat get you going song but turns out the lyrics are a bit depressing. Thanks again

In case you have searched it out, it's "Verdamp Lang Her" by BAP. I got it on iTunes a while ago after seeing the DTM video. Cracking song. I can just about manage to sing along to the chorus.


Verdamp lang her, dat ich fast alles ähnz nohm.
Verdamp lang her, dat ich ahn jet jegläuv
un dann dä schock, wie't anders op mich zokohm
merkwürdich, wo su manche Haas langläuf.
Nit resigniert, nur reichlich desillusioniert,
e bessje jet hann ich kapiert.

Wer alles, wenn dir't klapp, hinger dir herrennt,
ding Schulder klopp, wer dich nit all hofiert,
sich ohne ruut ze weede ding Frönd nennt,
un dich daachs drop janz einfach ignoriert.
Et ess lang her, dat ich vüür sujet ratlos stund
un vüür Enttäuschung echt nit mieh kunnt.

Ich weiß noch, wie ich nur dovun jedräump hann
wovunn ich nit woos, wie 'jet sööke sollt,
vüür lauter Söökerei et Finge jlatt versäump hann
un övverhaup, wat ich wo finge wollt.
Ne koop voll Nix, nur die paar instinktive Tricks
et duhrt lang, besste dich durchblickst.

Dat woor die Zick, wo ich noch nit ens Pech hat,
noch nit ens dat, ich hat se nit ens satt.
He wor John Steinbeck, do stund Joseph Conrad,
dozwesche ich - nur relativ schachmatt.
'T ess paar Johr her, doch die Erinnerung fällt nit schwer
hück kütt mer vüür, als wenn et jestern wöör.

Verdamp lang her, verdamp lang her - verdamp lang her.
Verdamp lang her, verdamp lang her - verdamp lang her.

Frööchs mich, wann ich zoletz e Bild jemohlt hann,
ob mir e Leed tatsächlich jetz jenüsch,
ob ich jetz do been, wo ich hinjewollt hann,
ob mir ming Färv op die Tour nit verdrüsch.
Ich gläuv, ich weiß, ob de no laut mohls oder leis
't kütt drop ahn, dat do et deiP.

Verdamp lang her, verdamp lang her - verdamp lang her.
Verdamp lang her, verdamp lang her - verdamp lang her.

Verdamp lang her, dat ich bei dir ahm Jraav woor.
Verdamp lang her, dat mir jesprochen hann,
un dat vumm eine och jet beim andre ahnkohm,
su lang, dat ich mich kaum erinnre kann.
Häss fess jeglauv, dat wer em Himmel op dich waat,
ich jönn et dir 'hann ich jesaat.

Verdamp lang her, verdamp lang her - verdamp lang her.
Verdamp lang her, verdamp lang her - verdamp lang her.
Verdamp lang her, verdamp lang her - verdamp lang her....

^ The problem of singing along in a different language! Great tune though, love the Fender Rhodes at the start
