German: Laing - Morgens immer müde (song)




Here is Christina with another fun German song:
"Morgens immer müde" by Laing.

The four members of the this crazy Berlin electro-soul-pop group are Nicola Rost, Susanne Berivan, Johanna Marshall, and Marisa Akeny  Laing. Nicola named the band after her mother's maiden name: "Laing."




Their song "Morgens immer müde" ("Always tired in the morning") is a hymn for anybody who has trouble getting out of bed early in the morning!






Morgens immer müde

Ich bin morgens immer müde,
Aber abends werd‘ ich wach.
Morgens bin ich so solide,
Doch am Abend werd‘ ich schwach.

Wenn der Wecker morgens rasselt
Und der Tag nimmt seinen Lauf,
Ist die Stimmung mir vermasselt,
Denn ich steh‘ so ungern auf.
Doch wenn tausend Lichter glühen,
Bin ich jede Nacht ganz groß,
Und wenn dann noch Musik erklingt,
Oh, dann geht es los.

Ich bin morgens immer müde,
Aber abends werd‘ ich wach.
Morgens bin ich so solide,
Doch am Abend werd‘ ich schwach,
So schwach,
So schwach.

In der Bar: "Zum flotten Penner"
Bin ich außer Rand und Band
Und ich tanze dutzend Männer
Ohne Mühe an die Wand.
Cha Cha, Swing und Boogie Woogie
Tanz‘ ich ohne Unterlass.
Schon schreit der ganze Saal:
Wow, die ist ja krass!

Denn ich bin morgens immer müde,
Aber abends werd‘ ich wach.
Morgens bin ich so solide,
Doch am Abend werd‘ ich schwach,
So schwach.

Zwo, drei, vier,
Morgens, morgens,
Müde, müde,
Morgens, morgens,
Müde, müde,
Abends, abends,
Wach, wach,
Abends, abends,
Wach, wach,
Morgens, morgens,
Müde, müde,
Morgens, morgens,
Müde, müde,
Abends, abends,
Schwach, schwach,
Abends, abends,
Schwach.

Ich bin morgens immer müde,
Aber abends werd‘ ich wach.
Morgens bin ich so solide,
Doch am Abend werd‘ ich schwach,
So schwach,
So schwach.

Kein Grund zu gehen, es ist erst 0:30 Uhr.
Kein Grund zu gehen, es ist erst 1:30 Uhr.
Kein Grund zu gehen, es ist erst 2:30 Uhr.
Kein Grund zu gehen, es ist erst 3:30 Uhr.
Kein Grund zu gehen, es ist erst 4:30 Uhr.
Kein Grund zu gehen, es ist erst 5:30 Uhr.
Kein Grund zu gehen, es ist erst 6:30 Uhr.
Kein Grund zu gehen …

Ich fange gerade erst an!

Always tired in the morning

I’m always tired in the morning,
But evenings I wake up.
Mornings I am strong,
But in the evening I get weak.

When the alarm rattles in the morning
And the day takes it course,
Then my mood is all screwed up,
‘Cause I really hate to get up.
But when a thousand lights are shining,
I’m really great every night,
And when music sounds on top of that,
Then I’m off.

I’m always tired in the morning,
But evenings I wake up.
Mornings I am strong,
But in the evening I get weak.
So weak,
So weak.

In the bar: “The Perky Hobo”
I really cut loose
And I dance a dozen men
Right into the ground, without an effort.
Cha Cha, Swing and Boogie Woogie
I dance incessantly.
Soon the whole room shouts:
Wow, she is totally wicked!

I’m always tired in the morning,
But evenings I wake up.
Mornings I am strong,
But in the evening I get weak.
So weak.

Two, three, four
In the morning, in the morning
Tired, tired
In the morning, in the morning
Tired, tired
In the evening, in the evening,
Awake, awake,
In the evening, in the evening,
Awake, awake
In the morning, in the morning
Tired, tired
In the morning, in the morning
Tired, tired
In the evening, in the evening,
Weak, weak
In the evening, in the evening,
Weak.

I’m always tired in the morning,
But evenings I wake up.
Mornings I am strong,
But in the evening I get weak.
So weak.
So weak.

No reason to leave, it is only 12:30 am
No reason to leave, it is only 1:30 am
No reason to leave, it is only 2:30 am
No reason to leave, it is only 3:30 am
No reason to leave, it is only 4:30 am
No reason to leave, it is only 5:30 am
No reason to leave, it is only 6:30 am
No reason to leave…

I’m really just starting here!


The song became famous in Germany last year when it was used in a TV ad of a German telecommunication company:
