Muss da durch
Udo Lindenberg Lyrics

War ein schöner Sommer
The beginning of the song describes a beautiful summer season that is coming to an end, and introduces a sense of positivity and optimism.

Der nicht zu Ende geht
Even though the summer has ended, the feelings of happiness and positivity stayed with the singer, and he believes this spirit will never die.

Jeder Tag 'n Highway
Life is like an open highway, full of possibilities and adventures.

Der mir offensteht
The singer feels like he can take on the world because the future is full of opportunities and he has endless possibilities.

Ey, die Götter haben's wirklich gut mit mir gemeint
The singer acknowledges that he feels blessed by the universe, as if he has been granted something amazing from the Gods.

Und die Zukunft war mein bester Freund
The future held endless optimism and ability to achieve anything the singer set out to do.

Doch gerade, wenn du denkst
Despite his positivity, the singer has moments of doubt.

Es kann nicht besser kommen
Sometimes it feels like there couldn't be anything better than what he already has, which makes it easy to forget that life can be unpredictable.

Trifft dich 'n linker Haken
At times like this life can take you by surprise and hit you hard, like a left hook in boxing.

Knallst auf den Beton
In an instant, you can fall hard, as if crashing into the unforgiving pavement.

'Ne dunkle Wand und ein Riss geht durch die Zeit
Suddenly there can be a dark wall that appears, shattering the feeling of being indestructible and forever young.

Und dann ist's vorbei mit der Unsterblichkeit
In that moment, the singer realizes that the feeling of immortality is gone, and he is just like any other human, vulnerable to the many challenges life can throw at him.

Muss da durch
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase 'Muss da durch' (meaning 'I have to go through it') as if to say, life can be challenging but you have to keep going on.

Ganz egal, wohin die Stürme mich auch wehen
The singer knows that the path ahead is unpredictable and out of his control.

Ganz egal, muss ich auch durch die Hölle gehen
No matter how difficult the journey gets, he will keep moving forward, even if it feels like he's in hell.

Ich werd diesen harten Trip schon überstehen
The singer knows that he can overcome any obstacle or challenge that comes his way.

Du wirst sehen, wird schon gehen
The singer's message to listeners is one of hope - no matter how hard things get, it will pass.

Schickt das Leben dich mal auf die Bretter drauf
Sometimes life can knock you down, like a heavy punch sends a boxer to the mat.

Ey, so'n Fighter, der steht immer wieder auf
The singer acknowledges that he, like many others out there, has the spirit of a fighter and will always get back up, no matter how many times he falls.

Und dann wirst du deine Sonne wieder sehen
After a crisis or challenge, life will get better and the singer will experience happiness once again.

Und wie ein Phönix auferstehen
Just like a phoenix which dies and is reborn, the singer believes that challenges don't have to be the end, and that life will provide opportunities for growth and renewal.

Manche Wunden heilen
Some wounds can eventually be healed.

Heilen wieder zu
However, sometimes healing takes time and effort before things can get better.

Doch die Narben bleiben, trag sie stolz wie ein Tattoo
Even though the scars of hardship will always be there, the singer embraces them as a reminder of what he's been through and how he's overcome them, like a tattoo that symbolizes survival.

Der schwarze Abgrund, nur noch einen Schritt entfernt
There is always the possibility of something bad happening, and this knowledge can be a source of anxiety.

Und du springst, damit du fliegen lernst
Yet, the singer knows that sometimes, taking risks or confronting the fear of the unknown is necessary to learn and grow, metaphorically 'jumping off the cliff' instead of being stuck where you are.

Das wird gehen
The song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer encouraging himself to believe that everything will eventually work out.
