Max Raabe was born Matthias Otto in Lünen, Germany, in 1962, and trained as a classical baritone before reinventing himself as the singing voice of another era entirely. While studying in Berlin in the mid-1980s, he and a group of fellow students formed the Palast Orchester, building their repertoire out of German dance-hall and cabaret arrangements from the 1920s and 30s that they dug up in flea markets. He still fronts the band today, gliding into a poised falsetto with the deadpan calm of someone who has never once cracked a smile on purpose.
Raabe's version of "Kein Schwein ruft mich an" turned him into a national name in 1992, and he has spent the decades since moving comfortably between his own German-language songs and English standards by Cole Porter and Irving Berlin, playing Carnegie Hall more than once along the way. A songwriting partnership with Annette Humpe produced the platinum album "Küssen kann man nicht alleine" in 2011, and Berlin later awarded him its Order of Merit for the act he built almost by accident as a student.
This song is like a warm hug from a good friend. Max Raabe starts by singing about something everyone knows: "Jeder Mensch hat einen Kummer" (Every person has a sorrow). He points out that some sadness is old, while other pain "beißt und schmerzt / Als ob es Gestern wär" (bites and hurts / as if it were yesterday). He even gets specific, reminding us how we sometimes hurt the people "Die man am meisten liebt" (that one loves the most).
But this isn't a sad song! The whole point is the simple, kind solution he offers in the chorus. He just says, "Komm mal her / Setz dich zu mir hin" (Come over here / Sit down next to me). He doesn't try to solve the problem or pretend it's easy. Instead, he offers company and a beautiful, direct reassurance: "Es ist gut, dass es dich gibt" (It's good that you exist). It's a sweet reminder that sometimes, just being there for someone is the most important thing you can do.
This song is a shot of pure, simple optimism. Max Raabe gets straight to the point with the title and main lyric, "Es wird wieder gut" (It will be good again). He's not pretending things are great right now. In fact, he's very clear that "Die letzte Zeit war sehr / Schwer" (The recent past was very / Hard) and that everything went "ganz massiv" (massively) wrong. The song admits that this is "Ein Tief" (A low point), which is a very direct way of looking at a bad situation.
But the whole message is about perseverance. The song compares life to a long-distance run: "Im Leben wie beim Dauerlauf / Gib nicht auf" (In life, like in an endurance run / Don't give up). It accepts that life has its ups and downs, "Es geht mal runter und mal rauf" (It goes down and then up), and advises you to just accept it. The promise is simple: "Der Schmerz wird vergehen" (The pain will pass), and you will see that things will be good again.
Max Raabe, con il suo stile impeccabile che ricorda gli anni '20, ci offre una canzone che è come un caldo abbraccio. Il testo parte da una verità universale: "Jeder Mensch hat einen Kummer" (Ogni persona ha un dispiacere), che a volte è pesante e a volte leggero. La canzone riconosce che alcuni dolori sono vecchi, mentre altri "beißt und schmerzt / Als ob es Gestern wär" (mordono e fanno male / come se fosse ieri). È un modo diretto e onesto di ammettere che tutti soffriamo.
Ma la canzone non si ferma qui. Offre una soluzione semplice e potente: la vicinanza. L'invito "Komm mal her / Setz dich zu mir hin" (Vieni qui / Siediti accanto a me) è un gesto di pura amicizia. Non cerca di risolvere il problema, ma offre conforto e una delle frasi più belle che si possano dire a qualcuno: "Es ist gut, dass es dich gibt" (È un bene che tu esista). È un promemoria che, anche quando le cose non hanno senso, la nostra presenza ha un valore.
Znasz ten moment, kiedy po prostu potrzebujesz usiąść obok kogoś i usłyszeć, że wszystko jest w porządku? Właśnie o tym śpiewa niemiecki artysta Max Raabe w popowym utworze „Komm Mal Her”. Zamiast wielkich dramatów dostajemy tu prostą, ciepłą zachętę: „Komm mal her / Setz dich zu mir hin” („Chodź no tutaj / Usiądź koło mnie”). Raabe zwraca uwagę na to, że każdy z nas nosi w sobie jakieś zmartwienia („Jeder Mensch hat einen Kummer” [Każdy człowiek ma jakiś smutek]) – jedne są stare, a inne bolą tak mocno, jakby wydarzyły się wczoraj („Mancher beißt und schmerzt / Als ob es Gestern wär” [Niektóry gryzie i boli, jakby to było wczoraj]).
Najbardziej podoba mi się w tym tekście jego bezpośredniość i życiowa szczerość. Raabe bez ogródek przypomina o prostej prawdzie: słowo rodzi słowo i najczęściej ranimy tych, których kochamy najbardziej („Und man immer die verletzt / Die man am meisten liebt”). Jego rada na takie sytuacje jest krótka: najlepiej wybaczyć albo zapomnieć o tym, czego i tak nie da się zmienić („Am besten du verzeihst oder vergisst / Was nicht zu ändern ist”). Całość sprowadza się do jednego, niesamowicie podnoszącego na duchu zdania, które powraca w refrenie: „Es ist gut, dass es dich gibt” („Dobrze, że jesteś”).
This song has such a charming and funny idea at its heart: what if happiness was a real person who just knocked on your door one day? Max Raabe decides that if happiness shows up, he's going to be a good host. He says, "Steht das Glück vor der Tür / Dann lasse ich es rein" (If happiness is at the door / Then I'll let it in) and even offers it coffee or tea. He has a very relaxed attitude about it, figuring that the best way to make happiness stay is not to cling to it too tightly: "Denn ich weiß, dass du bleibst / Wenn man dich lässt" (Because I know that you stay / If one lets you be).
But then, after happiness has been sitting on his couch for a while, a new feeling creeps in: guilt! He starts to worry, "Werden andere das Glück / Jetzt nicht vermissen?" (Won't others / Miss happiness now?). It's a hilarious thought—that he's somehow hogging all the happiness in the world. In the end, though, he decides he can't just kick his guest out. He might be a little spoiled, but he concludes that it doesn't matter, because today is simply "ein guter Tag / Um glücklich zu sein" (a good day / to be happy), and it's about time.
"Mir Ist So Nach Dir" is a cheeky, old-school love confession wrapped in Max Raabe’s signature retro charm. Throughout the song, the singer can’t shake an almost whimsical longing for that special someone: “Mir ist so nach dir … und mir wird immer nach dir sein.” In other words, “I’m in the mood for you, yesterday, today, and always!” He daydreams about being completely alone together, while at the same time poking fun at his own obsession. The playful back-and-forth questions – “What’s going on with you? What’s going on with me?” – reveal a mix of curiosity and comedic self-doubt that keeps the mood light and flirtatious.
Behind the vintage sound of the Palast Orchester, the message is refreshingly simple: sometimes love just takes over, and we spend the whole day wondering how the other person feels in return. This song captures that fizzy, slightly goofy stage of infatuation when your heart is sure, but your head is still asking questions. It is a perfect melody for anyone who enjoys a clever twist on classic romance.
Ans Herz Geh'n is Max Raabe’s stylish plea for real closeness. Instead of grand declarations, the singer asks for something simple yet powerful: Come a little closer, hold me, let’s melt the chill away. He admits his own pain, does an emotional “inventory” of his happiness, and discovers that what truly matters is mutual acceptance. When you let me be myself and I let you be you, he sings, everything else fades into the background.
The song celebrates a relationship built on unwavering trust and an affectionate understanding of each other’s quirks. From silly habits to heartfelt reconciliations, the couple promises never to leave the other hanging. Raabe wraps this message in a warm, retro-swing melody, making the listener feel both nostalgic and happily secure. In the end, it’s clear: if you go “ans Herz” — straight to the heart — the rest is irrelevant, and love feels like home.
Max Raabe’s “Der Perfekte Moment… Wird Heut Verpennt” is a cheeky love-letter to total laziness. The singer decides that today is strictly for staying in bed, ignoring calls, and doing nothing more ambitious than opening and closing the fridge. While the sun shines and the clouds drift by, he pulls the covers up, confident that the “perfect moment” outside can wait.
Rather than chasing productivity, Raabe celebrates the art of slowing down. His playful lyrics remind us that sometimes the healthiest choice is to unplug, shut the world out, and revel in life’s simplest comforts. The song turns idleness into a small act of rebellion—inviting listeners to savor a guilt-free day of rest and to discover that “having everything you need” can be as easy as closing your eyes again.
Sabe aquele dia em que tudo dá errado e você só precisa ouvir que as coisas vão se ajeitar? É exatamente essa a conversa que o cantor alemão Max Raabe tem com a gente aqui. Sem rodeios, ele manda a real logo no começo: "Es ging alles schief / Ganz massiv" (Tudo deu errado / De forma bem pesada). Ele admite que o momento recente foi complicado ("Die letzte Zeit war sehr / Schwer" [O último tempo foi muito / difícil]), mas insiste no mantra reconfortante do refrão: "Es wird wieder gut" (Vai ficar tudo bem de novo).
Para animar quem está ouvindo, Raabe compara a nossa rotina com uma corrida de longa distância: "Im Leben wie beim Dauerlauf / Gib nicht auf" (Na vida como em uma corrida contínua / Não desista). A expressão Dauerlauf se refere àquele cooper ou corrida de resistência, onde o segredo é manter o ritmo e não parar no meio do caminho. Ele também usa o conselho prático "Nimm's in Kauf" (Aceite isso / Lide com isso), lembrando que a vida oscila com altos e baixos ("Es geht mal runter und mal rauf" [Às vezes desce e às vezes sobe]). É uma faixa pop direta e acolhedora para lembrar que a dor passa ("Der Schmerz wird vergehen" [A dor vai passar]).
Max Raabe, avec son style élégant des années 20, nous offre une chanson d'une simplicité et d'une gentillesse désarmantes. Il commence par un constat universel : tout le monde a des soucis. Parfois, c'est un vieux chagrin qui fait encore mal, comme s'il datait d'hier : « Mancher beißt und schmerzt / Als ob es Gestern wär » (Certains mordent et font mal / Comme si c'était hier). Il évoque aussi la façon dont on finit toujours par blesser ceux qu'on aime le plus, « die man am meisten liebt » (ceux qu'on aime le plus).
Face à tout ça, la solution de Max Raabe n'est pas un grand discours, mais une invitation directe et réconfortante. Il répète simplement : « Komm mal her / Setz dich zu mir hin » (Viens par ici / Assieds-toi près de moi). C'est une chanson sur le pouvoir de la simple présence. Il ne prétend pas avoir de réponse, admettant même que la tristesse « ergibt oft keinen Sinn » (n'a souvent aucun sens). Le message final est un pur réconfort : « Es ist gut, dass es dich gibt » (C'est bien que tu existes).
Esta canción de Max Raabe es como un abrazo cálido de un buen amigo. Empieza reconociendo algo que todos sabemos: todo el mundo tiene sus penas, "Jeder Mensch hat einen Kummer" [Toda persona tiene una pena]. A veces son grandes, a veces pequeñas, y algunas duelen "Als ob es Gestern wär" [como si hubiera sido ayer], incluso si pasaron hace mucho tiempo. La canción también señala cómo a menudo herimos a las personas que más queremos, simplemente porque "ein Wort das andre gibt" [una palabra lleva a la otra].
Pero en lugar de quedarse en la tristeza, la canción ofrece una solución simple y directa. El estribillo es una invitación a sentarse juntos y encontrar consuelo. Cuando Raabe canta "Komm mal her / Setz dich zu mir hin" [Ven aquí / Siéntate a mi lado], es un gesto de pura amistad. El mensaje central es increíblemente reconfortante y directo: "Es ist gut, dass es dich gibt" [Es bueno que existas]. Es un recordatorio de que, aunque las cosas no tengan sentido, la compañía y el saber que le importas a alguien lo es todo.
Ova pesma je kao topao, utešan zagrljaj. Maks Rabe peva o nečemu što svi znamo: "Jeder Mensch hat einen Kummer" (Svaki čovek ima neku tugu). Ponekad je teška, ponekad laka, a ponekad se jednostavno vidi na nekome da mu je dosta svega.
Refren je jednostavan i direktan poziv na prijateljstvo. Kada stvari nemaju smisla i kada povredimo one koje najviše volimo, pesma nudi jednostavnu utehu: "Komm mal her / Setz dich zu mir hin" (Dođi ovamo / Sedi pored mene). To je podsetnik da je ponekad najvažnije samo biti tu za nekoga i reći mu: "Es ist gut, dass es dich gibt" (Dobro je što postojiš).
Ο Γερμανός καλλιτέχνης Max Raabe φτιάχνει εδώ μια ζεστή, pop αγκαλιά για τις δύσκολες μέρες. Με τη φράση "Komm mal her" (Έλα εδώ) και την προτροπή "Setz dich zu mir hin" (Κάθισε δίπλα μου), σε καλεί απλά να ξαποστάσεις. Μιλάει για εκείνες τις στενοχώριες που κουβαλάμε: "Jeder Mensch hat einen Kummer" (Κάθε άνθρωπος έχει έναν καημό). Άλλοτε αυτός ο πόνος είναι παλιός και άλλοτε πονάει "Als ob es Gestern wär" (Σαν να ήταν χθες).
Το κομμάτι κοιτάζει κατάματα και τις σχέσεις μας με τους άλλους. Ο Raabe παρατηρεί με ειλικρίνεια πως καμιά φορά "ein Wort das andre gibt" (μια κουβέντα φέρνει την άλλη) και καταλήγουμε να πληγώνουμε αυτούς που αγαπάμε περισσότερο. Η λύση του; Να συγχωρήσεις ή να ξεχάσεις ό,τι δεν αλλάζει, κρατώντας την πιο όμορφη υπενθύμιση που μπορεί να σου δώσει ένας φίλος: "Es ist gut, dass es dich gibt" (Είναι καλό που υπάρχεις).
It is late, the city is humming, and our narrator has only one mission: to follow the sound of his favorite song. Roaming the vast nightlife of Berlin, he hears the melody drifting from behind club doors and excitedly begs the doorman, “Let me in, I hear music!” The lyrics capture that electric pulse you feel when the right track pulls you off the street and straight onto the dance floor, fueled by the hope you have not missed a single beat.
Inside, the party is packed “tight like a container,” yet all that matters is the shared joy of the music. From upscale Wannsee to concrete Marzahn, the song celebrates Berlin’s wide-open nights where friends and strangers alike sing, dance, and press replay until dawn. Max Raabe’s playful anthem reminds us that when music calls, ordinary rules fade away and the whole city becomes one big invitation to celebrate life.
¡Prepárate para una dosis de optimismo con "Es Wird Wieder Gut" de Max Raabe! Esta canción es como un abrazo musical que te dice que, no importa lo difícil que parezca ahora, las cosas mejorarán. Max nos canta con esa calma tan suya que "Es wird wieder gut / Auch wenn's nicht so aussieht" [Todo estará bien / Aunque no lo parezca].
La letra reconoce que "Die letzte Zeit war sehr / Schwer" [El último tiempo fue muy / Difícil] y que "Es ging alles schief / Ganz massiv" [Todo salió mal / Masivamente]. ¿Quién no se ha sentido así? Pero la canción nos anima a no rendirnos, recordándonos que "Es geht mal runter und mal rauf / Nimm's in Kauf" [A veces se baja y a veces se sube / Acéptalo]. Es una melodía perfecta para esos días en los que necesitas un empujón para recordar que "Der Schmerz wird vergehen / Und du wirst sehen / Es wird wieder gut" [El dolor pasará / Y verás / Todo estará bien]. ¡Me encanta cómo nos da esperanza sin ignorar la realidad de los momentos difíciles!
Esta canção é como um abraço caloroso de um bom amigo. Max Raabe começa com uma verdade universal: 'Jeder Mensch hat einen Kummer' (Toda pessoa tem uma tristeza), seja ela grande ou pequena. Ele sabe que algumas mágoas são antigas, enquanto outras 'beißt und schmerzt / Als ob es Gestern wär' (mordem e doem / Como se fosse ontem). A música reconhece que todo mundo passa por momentos difíceis e que, às vezes, isso fica estampado no nosso rosto.
E qual é a solução dele para toda essa tristeza? Algo maravilhosamente simples. Ele não oferece conselhos complicados, apenas um convite: 'Komm mal her / Setz dich zu mir hin' (Vem cá / Senta aqui comigo). A canção nos lembra que às vezes ferimos justamente 'Die man am meisten liebt' (aqueles que mais amamos) e que o melhor é perdoar o que não pode ser mudado. No fim, o conforto está na companhia e na simples afirmação de que 'Es ist gut, dass es dich gibt' (É bom que você exista).
Včasih potrebuješ pesem, ki te preprosto potolaži. Max Raabe, nemški pevec, znan po svojem elegantnem slogu iz 20. let prejšnjega stoletja, tukaj ponuja prav to: topel objem v obliki pesmi. Začne z resnico, ki jo vsi poznamo: "Jeder Mensch hat einen Kummer" (Vsak človek ima skrbi), nekatere so stare, druge pa bolijo, "Als ob es Gestern wär" (kot da bi bilo včeraj).
Pesem ne ponuja zapletenih rešitev. Namesto tega ponudi preprosto, a močno povabilo: "Komm mal her / Setz dich zu mir hin" (Pridi sem / Sedi k meni). To je pesem o prijateljstvu in podpori. Priznava, da včasih ranimo tiste, ki jih imamo najraje, in da je najboljše, kar lahko storimo, da odpustimo ali pozabimo, "Was nicht zu ändern ist" (česar se ne da spremeniti). Glavno sporočilo pa je čudovito in neposredno: "Es ist gut, dass es dich gibt" (Dobro je, da obstajaš).
Max Raabe er kendt for sin elegante stil, der minder om 1920'erne, men her synger han en meget enkel og direkte sang om trøst. Den handler om, at alle mennesker har sorger, både store og små. Nogle gange er det en gammel sorg, der stadig gør ondt, som han synger: "Mancher beißt und schmerzt / Als ob es Gestern wär" (Nogle bider og smerter / Som var det i går). Sangen anerkender, at man ikke altid kan løse problemerne, og at de ofte slet ikke giver mening.
I stedet for at give komplicerede råd, tilbyder sangen noget meget mere grundlæggende: selskab og anerkendelse. Omkvædet er en simpel invitation: "Komm mal her / Setz dich zu mir hin" (Kom lige her / Sæt dig hos mig). Budskabet er klart og varmt, især i den simple linje "Es ist gut, dass es dich gibt" (Det er godt, at du findes). Det er en påmindelse om, at det at være der for hinanden er det vigtigste, når livet er svært.
Tämä Max Raaben kappale on kuin lämmin halaus. Se on yksinkertainen ja suora viesti ystävälle, jolla on vaikeaa. Laulu alkaa toteamalla, että kaikilla on murheita: "Jeder Mensch hat einen Kummer / Mal schwer und auch mal leicht" (Jokaisella on surunsa / joskus raskas ja joskus kevyt). Joskus tuska on vanha, joskus se tuntuu kuin eiliseltä.
Kertosäe on kaunis ja lohduttava kutsu. Sen sijaan, että laulaja yrittäisi ratkaista ongelmia, hän tarjoaa vain seuraansa ja tukeaan: "Komm mal her / Setz dich zu mir hin" (Tule tänne / Istu viereeni). Viesti on selkeä: sinun ei tarvitse olla yksin. Kappaleen ydin on ehkä sen kaikkein yksinkertaisimmassa lauseessa: "Es ist gut, dass es dich gibt" (On hyvä, että olet olemassa). Se on muistutus siitä, että sinulla on arvoa, vaikka kaikki tuntuisi vaikealta.
Тази песен е като топла прегръдка в студен ден. Макс Раабе пее за нещо, което всички познаваме: тъгата. Той започва с думите „Jeder Mensch hat einen Kummer“ (Всеки човек има своята мъка), признавайки, че понякога тя е тежка, а понякога лека, но винаги е там. Песента не се опитва да реши проблемите ти, а предлага нещо много по-просто и по-силно: приятелска утеха.
Припевът е директна покана: „Komm mal her / Setz dich zu mir hin“ (Ела тук / Седни до мен). Това е всичко. Понякога няма нужда от сложни съвети, а просто от някой, който да е до теб. Най-хубавата част е простичкото, но въздействащо послание: „Es ist gut, dass es dich gibt“ (Хубаво е, че те има). Песента също така засяга и болката, която си причиняваме един на друг, особено на хората, които обичаме най-много, и предлага прост съвет: „Am besten du verzeihst oder vergisst / Was nicht zu ändern ist“ (Най-добре е да простиш или да забравиш / онова, което не може да се промени).
Max Raabe, nemecký spevák známy svojím elegantným štýlom pripomínajúcim 20. a 30. roky, nám v tejto piesni ponúka jednoduché, no silné objatie. Pieseň začína univerzálnou pravdou: „Jeder Mensch hat einen Kummer“ (Každý človek má nejaký smútok). Či už je starý alebo nový, niekedy nás trápenie jednoducho premôže. Pieseň neponúka žiadne zložité riešenia ani veľké životné múdrosti.
Namiesto toho je to láskavá výzva. Refrén je priamym pozvaním: „Komm mal her / Setz dich zu mir hin“ (Poď sem / Sadni si ku mne). Je to gesto priateľstva a podpory, ktoré hovorí, že niekedy to najlepšie, čo môžeme urobiť, je jednoducho byť pri niekom. Vrcholom je úprimné a hrejivé uistenie: „Es ist gut, dass es dich gibt“ (Je dobré, že si tu). Je to pripomienka, že naša existencia má hodnotu, aj keď sa nám zdá, že sa všetko rúca.
Ši daina yra tarsi šiltas ir jaukus apkabinimas. Max Raabe, vokiečių dainininkas, garsėjantis savo elegantišku 1920-ųjų stiliumi, čia siūlo paprastą, bet labai galingą paguodą. Daina prasideda nuo minties, kurią suprantame visi: „Jeder Mensch hat einen Kummer“ (liet. „Kiekvienas žmogus turi sielvarto“). Kartais tas sielvartas senas, o kartais „beißt und schmerzt / Als ob es Gestern wär“ (liet. „kanda ir gelia, lyg tai būtų buvę vakar“).
Vietoj sudėtingų patarimų, dainos priedainis yra tiesiog nuoširdus kvietimas: „Komm mal her / Setz dich zu mir hin“ (liet. „Eikš čia / Sėskis šalia manęs“). Tai priminimas, kad kartais geriausia, ką galime padaryti, tai tiesiog būti šalia kito žmogaus. Dainoje taip pat pripažįstama, kad dažnai skaudiname tuos, kuriuos labiausiai mylime, ir patariama atleisti arba pamiršti tai, ko negalima pakeisti. Tačiau svarbiausia žinutė slypi paprastuose žodžiuose: „Es ist gut, dass es dich gibt“ (liet. „Gerai, kad tu esi“).
Ova pjesma je poput toplog zagrljaja u zvučnom obliku. Max Raabe pjeva o nečemu što svi poznajemo: tuzi. Priznaje da "Jeder Mensch hat einen Kummer" (Svaka osoba ima neku tugu), bila ona teška ili laka. Ponekad je tuga stara i daleka, a ponekad "beißt und schmerzt / Als ob es Gestern wär" (grize i boli / Kao da je bilo jučer). Pjesma također dotiče kako ponekad povrijedimo ljude koje najviše volimo, jednostavno zato što "ein Wort das andre gibt" (jedna riječ vodi drugoj).
Ali umjesto da nudi komplicirana rješenja, pjesma nudi nešto puno jednostavnije i snažnije: prisutnost. Refren je izravan poziv: "Komm mal her / Setz dich zu mir hin" (Dođi ovamo / Sjedni do mene). To je podsjetnik da ponekad ne trebamo savjet, već samo nekoga tko će sjediti s nama. Najljepši dio je jednostavna, ali duboka poruka utjehe: "Es ist gut, dass es dich gibt" (Dobro je što postojiš).
