Das ist der Moment

Morgens um sechs hol' den Kurzen aus dem Bett

Sind zu müde doch die Cornflakes sind perfekt

Fahren zur Schule parken hinten auf dem Hof

Gibst mir 'nen Kuss, rufst "Papa, ich muss los"

Wink dir hinterher, fahr rum um den Block

Radio an, wie immer nur Schrott

Dreh am kleinen Knopf, fahr raus aus dem Beton

Und sie spielen unseren Song!!

Das ist unser Tag, das ist unsere Zeit und sie fliegt nicht mehr an uns vorbei

Denn das ist der Moment, an dem du einmal hängst wenn du irgendwann zurückdenkst

Ham' so viel geschrieben, so viel getankt

Ham' Köpfe zerbrochen und Gitarren verbrannt

Weiss nicht mehr wann ich zum letzten Mal schlief

Immer auf der Jagd nach dem besten Lied

Stehen hinter der Bühne, bilden einen Kreis

Jetzt ist es soweit, auch wir sind bereit,

Sind hier hinter 'm Vorhang, hör'n wie ihr singt

Linkin spielen am Park, und wir am Ring!

Denn das ist unser Tag, das ist unsere Zeit

Und sie fliegt nicht mehr an uns vorbei

Denn das ist der Moment, an dem du einmal hängst wenn du irgendwann zurückdenkst

Das ist der Moment (4x)

Man(n) teilt aus, Man(n) kassiert, guten Stoss, Man(n) verliert, frag nicht nach dem Sinn

Man(n) versagt, Man(n) probiert, Man(n) verspricht, Man(n) riskiert hier kommt der Neubeginn

Denn das ist unser Tag, das ist unsere Zeit

Und sie fliegt nicht mehr an uns vorbei

Das ist der Moment, an dem du einmal hängst wenn du irgendwann zurückdenkst

Das ist der Moment (4x)

This Is The Moment

Six in the morning, get the little guy out of bed

We're too tired, but the cornflakes are perfect

We drive to school and park in back in the schoolyard

You give me a kiss, call out "Daddy, I've got to go!"

I wave goodbye, drive around the block

Turn the radio on, junk as usual

Turn the little knob, drive out, away from all the concrete1

And they're playing our song!

This is our day, this is our time and they won't fly past us anymore

'Cause this is the moment, the one you'll dwell on when you think back some day

We've written so much, boozed so much

We've broken heads and burned guitars

I'm not exactly sure anymore when I last slept

Always on the hunt for the perfect song

We stand behind the stage, gather in a circle

Now it's time, we're ready too,

We're here behind the curtain, hear how you sing

Linkin's playing in the Park, we're playing on the Ring!2

'Cause this is our day, this is our time

And they won't fly past us anymore

'Cause this is the moment, the one you'll dwell on when you think back some day

This is the moment (4x)

You3 deal it out, you cash it in, good break,4 you lose, don't ask what it all means

You fail, you try, you promise, you take a chance, here comes a new beginning

This is our day, this is our time

And they won't fly past us anymore

'Cause this is the moment, the one you'll dwell on when you think back some day

This is the moment (4x)

1. I'm guessing "raus aus dem Beton farhren" is a variation on "raus aus der Statdt fahren," to go for a drive out of the city into the countryside.
2. (Linkin Park, get it?) These are two simultaneous rock festivals in Nuremburg, Rock im Park and Rock am Ring (link below). Ringstrasse is the usual name for a street that runs in a circle around the downtown of a German city, often where the medieval city wall once was.
3. In German, "Mann" means "man," but "man" means "one," and yes, it is an example of (English) 'man' being used to mean the same thing as 'person.' When feminists write "man(n)" they are implying that only sexist men would write "one" does or thinks or says that thing, when really it's only "men" who do. Thanks to matilda2340 for this explanation. I'm not really sure it exactly conveys what Die Toten Hosen are trying to say here, or what that even is, but at least it's a starting point.
4. As in the game of pool or billiards.

Overall, nice job!!

But here are a few suggestions anyway:

1st block: Hof is short for "Schulhof" = playground.

2nd block: Wink dir hinterher = wave goodbye to you.
Radio an = turn the radio on (Radio anmachen).
fahr raus aus dem Beton = drive out from the concrete.

4th block:
so viel getankt: I'm pretty sure this deals with drinking: (had) so much to drink.

nice, thanks for the translation,
but i think on paragraph number 4, "getankt" (which has been translated by "boozed") is not "getranken" (drink and everything) but well "gentankt", (done), I think it should be "we have done so much

anyway, thanks for the translation
