Letra de
Forever Young

A música Forever Young, do Alphaville, foi lançada em 1984 e tornou-se um dos maiores sucessos da banda. Ela reflete sobre os desejos de eterna juventude e imortalidade, num contexto da Guerra Fria onde havia um medo global de uma catástrofe nuclear. As letras expressam a esperança diante da incerteza do futuro.

Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power, but we never say never
Sitting in the sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad man
Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
The music's played by the mad man

Forever Young
I want to be Forever Young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, and ever
Forever Young,
I want to be Forever Young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever Young.

Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are the melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?
It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever
So many adventures given up today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
Oh let it come true

Forever Young
I want to be Forever Young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, and ever
Forever Young,
I want to be Forever Young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever Young.

Forever Young
I want to be Forever Young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, and ever
Forever Young,
I want to be Forever Young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever Young.
