Guten Tag, Liebes Glück Lyrics in English Max Raabe

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Guten Tag, Liebes Glück by Max Raabe from German to English.
Today is a good day
To be happy
If luck's at the door
I'll let it in
Hello, dear luck
Nice to see you
Coffee or tea?
You don't want to
Leave again right away
I'll stay relaxed, too
Won't hold you tight
'Cause I know you'll stay
If you're allowed
What brings me this luck?
One thing's clear
Don't ask me how I'm doing
'Cause you weren't there
Today is a good day
To be happy
Today is a good day
To be happy
That's why
You come in handy
It's about time, too
Now luck's already sitting
So long on the couch
I feel really good
But then I think, "ouch"
Slowly comes
The bad conscience
Will others
Not miss luck now?
I just can't say
It should leave now
Having luck in the house
Is really nice
I'm totally amazed
By the situation
Maybe I'm spoiled
But what does that matter, 'cause
Today is a good day
To be happy
Today is a good day
To be happy
That's why
You come in handy
I hadn't realized at all
But now I see
Today is a good day
To be happy
If it stayed
For my sake
It's about time, too
Today is a good day
To be happy
Today is a good day
To be happy
It's high time, too

SONG MEANING

“Guten Tag, Liebes Glück” turns happiness into a surprise houseguest. Max Raabe’s narrator opens the door and literally greets Glück, offering coffee or tea and inviting it to stay. The catchy refrain “Heute ist ein guter Tag, um glücklich zu sein” reminds us that joy can arrive any ordinary morning if we simply let it in.

While basking in this cozy visit, the singer suddenly wonders whether it is selfish to keep Glück all to himself—will other people miss it? Yet the temptingly comfortable scene on the couch makes him shrug off the guilt and keep enjoying the moment. With tongue-in-cheek politeness and a touch of old-fashioned charm, the song celebrates seizing a bright mood, acknowledging that happiness is both a guest and a gift we’re allowed to indulge in when it knocks.
