Träume bleiben jung
Juliane Werding Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nachmittags ist das Kino leer
Nur ein Paar und ein Greis
Wirklichkeit traut sich nicht hier her
Nur ein Film in Schwarzweiß

Worte lügen, Pläne trügen
Herzen kriegen einen Sprung
Seltsam, nur die Träume bleiben jung
Zeit vergeht, nur die Träume bleiben jung

Abends sind alle Kneipen voll
Niemand bleibt gern allein
Man weiß nicht, was man sagen soll
Und wär gern wie ein Stein

Worte lügen, Pläne trügen
Herzen kriegen einen Sprung
Seltsam, nur die Träume bleiben jung
Zeit vergeht, nur die Träume bleiben jung

Worte lügen, Pläne trügen
Herzen kriegen einen Sprung
Seltsam, nur die Träume bleiben jung




Zeit vergeht, nur die Träume bleiben jung
Zeit vergeht, nur die Träume bleiben jung

Overall Meaning

The song "Träume bleiben jung" by Juliane Werding talks about the power and importance of dreams. The first stanza describes an empty movie theater, where reality doesn't dare to show up. Only a couple and an old man are present, and they're watching a black and white movie. This can be interpreted as an escape from reality, where people go to the movies to forget about their problems and live in a different world for a couple of hours. The fact that the movie is in black and white adds to the nostalgic feeling of a bygone era.


The second stanza talks about the loneliness that people feel at night when they go to bars. Everyone is looking for someone to talk to or to be with, but they don't know what to say, and they feel like they want to be a stone, meaning they want to be emotionless and avoid getting hurt. The repetition of the phrase "Worte lügen, Pläne trügen, Herzen kriegen einen Sprung" emphasizes the idea that words can lie, plans can fail, and hearts can break. However, dreams are the only thing that remains young despite the passing of time.


The chorus repeats the same idea that only dreams remain young while time passes by. The song highlights the importance of dreams and how they can provide hope and inspiration, even in the darkest moments of life. Dreams can keep our hearts young and our spirits high, even in moments of sadness or despair.
