Freunde

At 15 we still wrote slogans on the wall,
that none of us really understood back then.
At 20 we were clearly against it, whatever it was at the time,
as long as we were together and with our heads through the wall.

Life often turned out differently and rarely as expected,
we never made compromises with ourselves.
We would lie for each other, even to God if necessary.
We never talked about it, but we keep our word.

All because we are friends,
because we are still friends.

Some have died, others have gone away,
but we here have simply always survived everything.
We are different from the others, even if there are no others.
We swear to each other again and again that the best is yet to come.
The years have left marks - you can clearly see them.
We would never say that to each other, because we are friends.

We argue and make up,
all because we are friends.
We are always there, even without reason,
because we are still friends.

When we lose, we pick each other up - all because we are friends.
The rest of the world, we don't care - because we are friends.

All because we are friends,
because we are still friends.

When we lose, we pick each other up - all because we are friends.
The rest of the world, we don't care - because we are friends.
We stay, we triumph - because we are still friends.
Nothing will defeat us - because we are friends.
