Ivo Robic – Morgen lyrics

Ivo Robic – Morgen lyrics

Morgen, morgen
Morgen, morgen, lacht uns wieder das Gluck.
Gestern, gestern, liegt schon so weit zuruck,
War es auch eine schone, schone Zeit.

Morgen, morgen, sind wir wieder dabei,
Gestern, gestern, ist uns heut' einerlei,
War es auch eine schone, schone Zeit.

Sind wir heut' auch arm und klein,
Sind wir heut' auch ohne Sonnenschein,
Sind wir heut' auch noch allein,
Aber morgen, morgen, morgen, morgen, morgen.

Morgen, morgen, lacht uns wieder das Gluck,
Morgen, morgen, kommt die schone Zeit zu uns zuruck.

Sind wir heut' auch arm und klein,
Sind wir heut' auch ohne Sonnenschein,
Sind wir heut' auch noch allein,
Aber morgen, morgen, morgen, morgen, morgen.

Morgen, morgen, wird das alles vergehn,
Morgen, morgen, wird das Leben endlich wieder schon.

Tomorrow, tomorrow, happiness smiles on us again
Yesterday, Yesterday, is so far back in the past
It was a beautiful, beautiful time, too.

Tomorrow, tomorrow, we'll be back again
Yesterday, yesterday, today we're all the same
It was a beautiful, beautiful time, too.

Today, too, we're poor and small
Today we're without sunshine, too
Today, also we're all alone again
But tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow

Tomorrow, tomorrow, happiness smiles on us again
Tomorrow, tomorrow, the beautiful times come back to us.

(instrumental bridge)

Tomorrow, tomorrow, all will pass away
Tomorrow, tomorrow, life will, at last be beautiful again.

It's exactly the current crisis that led me to recall this almost-forgotten song that seems so appropriate now. When I first heard it as a fifteen-year-old, it sparked a lifelong interest in the German language. I've never become fluent. but I'm fascinated by German's grammar and can appreciate (with translation help) some beautiful German poetry in a way that I never could have without my eventual four semesters of college German.

When I first saw the movie "Cabaret", it occurred to me to compare this song to "Tomorrow Belongs to Me", sung by a band of Hitler Youth, but I finally dismissed it. There wasn't a whole lot of Nazi sympathy in post-war West Germany at the time this song was written there and became popular there [athough the singer was Croatian]; I prefer to think the nostalgia was for pre-Nazi [relative] peace and prosperity. Fortunately the Nazi horror and the post-war division are "alles vergehen": past, but still haunting our dreams.

Speaking of that, the penultimate line is my favorite. I find it impossible to translate readily because I can't get out of my mind that "wird", besides being the future-tense auxiliary, also means "become"; I keep thinking "wird das alles vergangen". The best I can do to comprehend "wird das alles vergeh'n" is "this will all become a bad dream of the past". Maybe the English aphorism "this, too, shall pass" will serve.

Since this was a 1959 song, one wonders whether Gestern, ... war es auch eine schone, schone Zeit.", "Yesterday ... was a beautiful beautiful time", expresses Ivo Robic's memories of the Nazi era?

Transposed to today, the song makes good sense. After the Wuhan virus is defeated, happiness will smile upon us again.
