Life is good - Life Is Scheen [English translation]
Life is good - Life Is Scheen [English translation]
Every pitcher was empty
And the fire had burned
Down to the red coals
Then one stood up
Who had been through a lot
The gypsy esteban
And his hair was white
And he said, I once too, reached for the stars
But now I'm ready for hell
And I tell you, such is life
Life is good, life is pleasant
Only for those on top
You're doing bad - what a pity
But life just isn't fair
(And that's the aweful truth, my friend)
And you're crawling, and you're twitching)
And you're trying to get somewhere
But another one holds your leash
And you, you just hang by it
And you want to do without everything
Just not without luxury
And you spit into the wind with courage
And the wind drives it back into your face
Cause Life is good, life is bad
And never the way you'd like to have it
Life is good, life is shit
But we're all a part of it
Life is good, you will see
Life is wonder-wonderful
But when two are in love
Nothing can happen to them
You're doing bad ? Well what a shame
But life never was meant to be fair
For people are rare, in life
That get what the'd like to have
La la la lay lay la lay la lay
La la la lay lay la lay la lay
La la la lay lay la lay la lay
La la la lay lay la lay la lay
(Life is good !!)
And the two of you
Who are in love so much
Have you ever wondered
This nice branch
That you're sitting on
Has been tinkered with by the devil (1)
Your cards have been dealt long ago
All you gotta do is pass them around
And you think your game will succeed
But the cards are marked
For life is good, life is bad
And never the way you'd like to have it
Life is good, and life is shit
But we all have to play our part
(Yes, that's just what life is
Like a kiddie dress
Short and full of shit)
Life is good, life is neat
And mostly enjoyable
You gotta take it as it comes
Come good things, thats nice
Come bad things, that's mean
But they say, the last shall be first
La la la lay lay la lay la lay
La la la lay lay la lay la lay
La la la lay lay la lay la lay
La la la lay lay la lay la lay
(Life is great !!)
Well, what do I say
It's all nonsense
And I've been young too, one time
Whoever has love, can forget
How things really are
He is blind, deaf and dumb
You have my blessing, so go forth
And go live your own life
But never come back and complain
I wouldn't have warned you
Life is good, life is nice
Only for those who are on top
Life is bad, life is manure
When you're all the way at the bottom
Life is good, you will see
it is wonder-wonderful
And when two are in love
Nothing can happen to them
You're doing bad ? What a shame !
But life is never fair
For who has ever gotten
What he wanted out of it ?
Life is good, life is neat
And mostly pleasant to live
But you gotta take it as it comes
Come good, that's neat
Come bad, well that's too bad
But they say, the last shall be first
Oh life is good, life is bad
but never the way you'd wanna have it
Life is good, life is shit
But we all gotta play along
Yes life is good, it would be nice
If everbody could have everything
But the way life is
Life is a complte rip-off
That's for sure
a rip-off
a rip-off
In case you didn't know
(Life is good!)
