Wie Viele Jahre (Hasta La Muerte)
Die Toten Hosen
How Many Years (Until Death)
We stand in our rehearsal room, the ceiling damp, the floor wet
Egg cartons on the walls, no place for groupies
Breiti is celebrating his birthday today, a young man of 20 years
As a gift, two crates of dark beer and a small bottle of schnapps
And then we play our songs
Each as loud as he can
And if you don't listen closely
It already sounds pretty good
How many years can this go on?
How many years, how much time is left for us?
We've been on the road for half a lifetime
"Until death", we've carved it into our skin
We stand in room 107, the ceiling white, the floor clean
Art hangs on the walls, two groupies are in the closet
Breiti is celebrating his birthday today, a young man of 40 years
As a gift, two crates of champagne and a small bottle of schnapps
How many years can this go on?
How many years, how much time is left for us?
We've been on the road for half a lifetime
"Until death", we've carved it into our skin
And today is another birthday, we stand in front of Breiti's door
I have two crates with me of organic snacks - Breiti can't handle anything else
Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to you!
How many years can this go on?
How many years, how much time is left for us?
We've been on the road for half a lifetime
"Until death", we've carved it into our skin
This is how it will continue
This is how it will continue
