Translation of lyrics:
The merry times are long gone,
We see our friends more and more seldom,
And even though we all have work and cares,
The older a friendship is, the stronger it is.
Some people are thrown about by life as if they were a ball,
Hit against the ground, not lifted up at all,
And others' life is full of good fortune,
But the feeling of friendship
Is something we all have.

Refrain:
Do not forget to write, do not forget to call,
Do not forget to tell your friends about the most important things.
Do not forget your friends,
Do not forget the fact
That we only live in this world once.

While we are together, life is so beautiful!
And sometimes we don't see other people's troubles,
And say too late, "It cannot have happened,"
When somebody is no longer with us.

Refrain:
Do not forget to write, etc.
