Irgendwann
Volker Lechtenbrink Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ich hab' schon viel Mist gebaut
Zerschlug viel Porzellan

Hab' immer aller Welt miЯtraut
LieЯ keinen an mich 'ran.
Du hast lang darauf vertraut
DaЯ ich zu дndern bin
Der Selbstzerstцrung zugeschaut und suchtest nach dem Sinn.

Der allerschlimmste Feind fьr mich bin ich

Ich hab' stets auf mich gezielt
Getroffen hab' ich letztlich dich

Doch -

Irgendwann fangen wir wieder von Anfang an

Weil man doch zusammen so nicht enden kann.
Irgendwann siehst du
DaЯ ich mich doch дndern kann

Und wir fangen dann noch einmal von vorne an.

Der allerschlimmste Feind fьr mich bin ich

Ich hab' stets auf mich gezielt
Getroffen hab' ich letztlich dich

Doch -
Irgendwann fangen wir wieder von Anfang an
...

Irgendwann fangen wir wieder von Anfang an

Weil man doch zusammen so nicht enden kann.




Irgendwann - ich bin sicher - sagst du dann:
Du bist doch fьr mich der einzige richtige Mann!
