Translation of the song lyrics 15 Min of Fame - Thomas D

15 Min of Fame (original)

Sie haben dich gezogen aus millionen Idioten
Und du führst beim voten, und du schürst die Quoten
Und du spürst da oben is ein Platz für dich frei
Du bist dabei unter den letzten drei, die letzten zwei und jetz vorbei
Die Lichter gehen aus, dann hörst deinen Namen im Finale und den Applaus
Die Kamera in die Totale, in die Werbung, und klar, gleich danach After-Show,
dann könnt ihr sehn wie’s war
Die Medien heben dich mit jenen die es gern gucken bald in schwindeleregende
Höhen aller Sternschnuppen
Und sie feiern dich wie nie, doch im Grunde feiern sie das Ende deiner großen
Viertelstunde
You had your 15 Minutes of Fame — und du hast unverschämt gut ausgesehn
You had your 15 Minutes of Fame — doch sei nich zu bequem um zu verstehn
You had your 15 Minutes of Fame — Das war dein Tag ab da war klar
Du hattest eine Viertelstunde lang Zeit zu verstehn, irgendwann muss jeder gehn,
auf Wiedersehn!
Die Crew, deine Fans, alle lichten dich ab
Du und deine Band, alle dichten sich ab
Festivals und Stadthallen buchen dich dann
Sind die Charts mal am fallen, alle rufen dich an
Denn deinen Manager dämmerts, sie überreden dich
Denk doch mal nach, ohne glamour überleben wir nich
Sing lieber Lieder wie «Die Da» und haut das nich hin
Wirb schnell mit AOL und schon biste wieder drin
Und all die Medien erzählen welche Hobbies du hast
Und die Mädchen hört man reden wo du shoppen warst
Und alle Kritiker erbittern immer gegen dich
Ziehn in die Charts und übergeben sich
You had your 15 Minutes of Fame — und du hast unverschämt gut ausgesehn
You had your 15 Minutes of Fame — du warst nur zu bequem um zu verstehn
You had your 15 Minutes of Fame — Das war dein Tag, ab da war klar
Du hattest eine Viertelstunde lang Zeit zu verstehn, irgendwann muss jeder gehn,
auf Wiedersehn!
Diesem Hype zu vertrauen is ne miese Fallen
You’re goin' up and down, runder komm’n se alle
Mal im Vertrau’n, du hast die Party deines Lebens gehabt
Doch wenn dir’s Ende zu hart is, dann hast n Fehler gemacht
Schmink’s dir ab, dein Tatoo ist nur aufgemalt
Deine Fresse wurd gefährlich oft ausgestrahlt
Hast vergessen dass sich ehrlichkeit ausbezahlt
Und die Presse verstärkt es noch tausendmal
Doch kein Sorge, die ham morgen schon n neues Gesicht
Die Show geht weiter, nur ab heude leider ohne dich
Immerhin warst ein bisschen am Schweben
Für ne knappe Viertelstunde deines Lebens
You had your 15 Minutes of Fame — und du hast unverschämt gut ausgesehn
You had your 15 Minutes of Fame — du warst nur zu bequem um zu verstehn
You had your 15 Minutes of Fame — Das war dein Tag, ab da war klar
Du hattest eine Viertelstunde lang Zeit zu verstehn, irgendwann muss jeder gehn,
auf Wiedersehn!
You had your 15 Minutes of Fame — Alle Anrufe zähl'n, ab jetz' könn'n se wähl'n
You had your 10 Minutes of Fame — und gleich nach der Werbung, da werden wir
sehn
You had 5 Minutes of Fame — Letzte Frage, wieviel Tage hat die Zeit deines
Lebens
You got 1 Minute of Fame, denn irgendwann muss jeder gehn, auf Wiedersehn!

(translation)

They pulled you out of a million idiots
And you lead when it comes to voting and you raise the odds
And you feel there is a place free for you up there
You're in the last three, the last two and now it's over
The lights go out, then you hear your name in the finale and the applause
The camera in the long shot, in the commercial, and of course, right after the show,
then you can see how it was
The media will soon lift you into dizzying spells with those who like to watch
Altitudes of all shooting stars
And they celebrate you like never before, but basically they celebrate the end of your big one
quarter hour
You had your 15 minutes of fame — and you looked outrageously good
You had your 15 minutes of fame — but don't be too lazy to understand
You had your 15 minutes of fame — that was your day from then on it was clear
You had a quarter of an hour to understand, at some point everyone has to go,
Good-bye!
The crew, your fans, everyone is photographing you
You and your band, all sealing up
Festivals and town halls will then book you
When the charts fall, everyone calls you
Because it dawns on your manager, they persuade you
Think about it, we can't survive without glamour
Better sing songs like "Die Da" and don't cut it
Advertise quickly with AOL and you'll be back in
And all the media tells what hobbies you have
And the girls can be heard talking where you've been shopping
And all the critics are always bitter against you
Hit the charts and vomit
You had your 15 minutes of fame — and you looked outrageously good
You had your 15 minutes of fame — you were just too lazy to understand
You had your 15 minutes of fame — that was your day, from then on it was clear
You had a quarter of an hour to understand, at some point everyone has to go,
Good-bye!
Trusting this hype is a lousy trap
You're goin' up and down, all of them come round
Trust me, you had the party of your life
But if the end is too hard for you, then you made a mistake
Take off your make-up, your tattoo is only painted on
Your face was broadcast dangerously often
Forgot that honesty pays
And the press amplifies it a thousand times over
But don't worry, they'll have a new face tomorrow
The show goes on, only today unfortunately without you
At least you were floating a bit
For a quarter of an hour of your life
You had your 15 minutes of fame — and you looked outrageously good
You had your 15 minutes of fame — you were just too lazy to understand
You had your 15 minutes of fame — that was your day, from then on it was clear
You had a quarter of an hour to understand, at some point everyone has to go,
Good-bye!
You had your 15 minutes of fame — all calls count, from now on you can dial
You had your 10 Minutes of Fame — and right after the commercial, there we will be
see
You had 5 Minutes of Fame — Last question, how many days does your time have
life
You got 1 minute of fame, because at some point everyone has to go, goodbye!
