Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Der Perfekte Moment… Wird Heut Verpennt by Max Raabe from German to English.

Today I'm doing nothing at all

Not lifting a finger

I'm staying home

And just lying around here

Making calls

Won't happen

What I'm doing

Fridge open and shut again

I'm fine where I am

The sun's shining, clouds drift by

The perfect moment

Will be slept through today

I turn over once more

Then pull the covers up

I'm not getting up today

I wouldn't even know why

I turn over once more

'Cause I like it

I've got everything I need

Eyes open and closed again

Plug pulled, no data

The world's outside and has to wait

What I could get done today

I won't even start

There's a deeper meaning in it

That I'm so lazy today

It stays that way

I'm taking the day off

I turn over once more

Then pull the covers up

I'm not getting up today

I wouldn't even know why

I turn over once more

'Cause I like it

I've got everything I need

Eyes open and closed again

Today I'm doing nothing at all

Not lifting a finger

I'm staying home

And just lying around here

SONG MEANING

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.
