The singer Der Graf commented on the background of the song to the Bild newspaper: "The death of my friend hit me deeply and inspired me to write this song for him".[2] This should be made clear by lines of text such as "I see a meaning since you are no more, because you have shown me how valuable my life is". In the newspaper interview, he continued: "I didn't know how much the text should also touch others who have lost a loved one. The response was overwhelming. In principle, I have my deceased friend to thank for this success. Because without the terrible tragedy of his early death, the song would not have existed. 'The Song ist pure lyricism

the best thing about this song are the deep lyrics

Born to live (Version #5 lyricstranslate) It’s hard for me, to live without you, To give myself fully, any day, any time. I often think back about what has happened, at that beloved past day. I imagine you standing by me and wherever I go, you still will be there by my side. I think about so much ever since you are no longer here Because you told me how precious life is. We were born to live with the wonders of our time To never forget, for all eternity. We were born to live for that one moment In which every one of us feels how precious life is. It still hurts to start over again, To accept something new, while feeling good. At this moment you’re close to me again, Like you were at that beloved past day. It is my wish to dream freely again, To look forward at the future without any regrets. I have found meaning again since you are no longer here, Because you told me how precious my life is. We were born to live with the wonders of our time To never forget, for all eternity. We were born to live for that one moment In which every one of us feels how precious life is. How precious life is… We were born to live… With the wonders of our time… Born to live! We were born to live with the wonders of our time To never forget, for all eternity. We were born to live for that one moment In which every one of us feels how precious life is. We were born to live with the wonders of our time To never forget, for all eternity. We were born to live for that one moment In which every one of us feels how precious life is. We were born to live...

Then we ruined the education system and everything went downwards.

The boy represents the friend who died. The video is a depiction of his musical journey. How his first contract was with a manager who charged outrageous fees for lousy low paying venues. How the friend who died convinced him to fire the manager and go out on his own

This Song was Number 1 for many Weeks. Very Sad Song. Its a Masterpiece

It's very nice that someone listens to German music, from bands that sing in German. I am older and still love the German music of the 80 and 90 years. Wolf Maahn, Rio Reiser, Klaus Lage, Ulla Meinecke, Bap, Brings, and many more. Thank you

Der Graf (The Earl) is the frontsinger of the band Unheilig (Unholy) and was a stutterer as a child and was bullied. Later he studied the science of language and became a poet.

The Graf always sings about love, but never about erotic love. It's love for a friend or a parent or your home town or the winter.

In the song one learns how valuable the friendship with his deceased friend was for the singer.

When I Was 10 years old this Songs means so much to me. Became a big fan of unheilig 13 years ago. The best german music you will find. The lyrics are so deep ❤️ I remember I heard the track very often as my grand grand father died

You could say "Un high lig" . "ei" sounds like "eye" - The "U" sounds like the vocal in the english word "You" - I really enjoy your videos and your work for international understandig. Thanks! Grüße aus Fürth ;)

Every time I hear this song I get goosebumps and tears in my eyes

If you want to hear how soft and also powerful the german language can sound, I would recommend Disney songs. For a soft one "I see the light" and I read that many foreigners love the german version of "colors of the wind". And for something really powerful and maybe even scary I would recommend the german version of "Hellfire". Everyone of them has a video with german and english subtitles on KZread. 🙂

This song was played by the dead of my father , in germany this is an perfekt song to beat , how nice the life is. sorry for bad english, im german.

This song was playing at my fathers burial..it was my mothers wish....

OH my God , He is Legend in my mind ... love all He did .... 💗💓💝

I love this song, the lyrics are amazing. You can listen to them if you are down and when you happy, this song is for every mood.For me it’s a really emotional connection, because Unheilig was my dads favorite band and we played this song at his funeral ☺️ love his voice and everything about this sons

The song is about the singers friend who sadly passed away. He's a very private person and never really gave away much about his personal life except in his music. Not even his real name is publicly known as he goes by the name "Der Graf" which is german for "The Count". He officially ended his career in 2016 when he stopped performing, he does however still write songs for other artists.

Unheilig, the best german band ever, please react more of this band:)

The video seems only linked losely to the lyrics. Der Graf sings about how to value your own life after loosing a person close to you and to appreciate the good moments you had with her and you should enjoy such moments. The children in the video are not having a good life and are exploited. But it seems they have a really strong bond and when they taking the money and buying all the sweets they also enjoy the lucky moment. The main theme is: live your life as the next day could be your last.

No I am an austrian citizan, born and raised here. I also lived 5 year's un the US but in my opinion the English language is better for music. I remember when we were prepairing to go home again I was 7 or 8 year's old and did not want to speak German, I said this language is breaking my tongue. English is much softer. 🙋‍♀️❤️🇦🇹

I actually like the song (musically and soundwise), though its pseudo-deep lyrics upset me. They pretend to be profound, but are poorly set and rhymed and hardly express the feeling of loss that he supposedly have gone through. Unfortunately, most contemporary German (i.e. not only German) singers/bands don't have capable texters. The bar is low today, so, I guess, many people will actually praise the song's depth.

To all fans of Unheilig, this music is really good! But also a little shallow and boring! It lacks the energy and power! Listen to songs from Null Positiv, Eisbrecher, Lords of the Lust, Feuerschwanz or of course Rammstein! That is true power and energy.

Der Song ist ein, oder zwei Jahre, bevor er bei einer Pro Sieben Werbeeinblendung gespielt wurde schon bei seinen Unheilig Konzerten gespielt worden.

Seine Band und er haben immerhin von den Konzert-/CD-Verkaufs-Einnahmen gelebt. Und das auch schon vor dem Chartdurchbruch. Soll er als Künstler und Bandleader etwa seiner Band sagen, "Hört zu, wir haben ein Angebot bekommen, dass ein Song von uns bei Pro Sieben als Werbeblockstart gespielt wird. Aber ich muss da leider an unsere Freunde und Fans denken und habe dem Angebot von (beliebige Tausender Summe in Euro einfügen) von Pro Sieben abgesagt.
