Die Letzte Runde Lyrics in English Versengold

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Die Letzte Runde by Versengold from German to English.
I know it's time, but I don't wanna leave
Even though chairs are already on the tables
First light falls through the window
The barmaid's pulling an extra shift
I still hear your voice right here
You sing about freedom and canned beer
I carve your name into the table
Then it's almost like you're here with me
The last round's on me
The last round just for you
We haven't seen each other in far too long, my friend
The last round's on me
The bar creaks and the floor sticks
Like us, the pub's been through a lot
The barmaid's about to throw me out
But I don't wanna head home yet
The old guitar hangs on the wall
It's only got four strings left, but damn
I play our song, what could be better now?
And somewhere, you join in
The last round's on me
The last round just for you
We haven't seen each other in far too long, my friend
The last round's on me
The last round's on me
The last round just for you
We haven't seen each other in far too long, my friend
The last round's on me
The last round's on me
The last round's on me
Time passes and so much happens
But sometimes we're left with a little song
And who the devil knows where we're all headed
Someday there'll be a reunion

SONG MEANING

Pour one last drink and pull up a barstool! “Die Letzte Runde” is a heartfelt folk-rock toast to absent friends and bygone nights. The storyteller lingers in a nearly empty pub—chairs already upended on the tables, floor sticky with memories—because every creak of the counter and every beam of dawn light keeps an old companion close. He carves a name into the wood, strums a battered guitar with only four strings, and orders one final round in honor of someone who is no longer there.

Beneath its rowdy sing-along chorus lies a tender message: even as time races on and life scatters people in every direction, music can freeze a moment and bridge any distance. The song reminds us that sharing a tune—or a can of cheap beer—can resurrect friendships for a few precious minutes, and that somewhere down the road there will be a joyful reunion. So raise your glass; this last round is on the singer, and it is poured for every friend we miss.
