Uradel
Uradel (German: [uʁˈaːdl̩], German: "ancient nobility"; adjective uradelig or uradlig) is a term introduced in late 18th-century Germany to distinguish those families whose noble rank can be traced to the 14th century or earlier. It is applied to designate those knightly families in northern European nobility whose noble rank predates about AD 1400. The term stands opposed to Briefadel, used for titles of nobility created in the early modern or modern period by letters patent.
Uradel and Briefadel families are generally further divided into the categories adlig (untitled and titled nobility), freiherrlich (baronial), gräflich (comital), and fürstlich (princely and ducal) houses.
Introduction and 19th-century usage
The first use of the word Uradel to designate the oldest nobility dates from 1788 and it had assumed its present-day meaning by no later than 1800. The term is found in the Almanach de Gotha from 1907, in which it is applied to all persons and families known to have carried specific titles of nobility before the year 1400. According to a third more strict definition, described in Der Große Brockhaus in 1928 (vol. 1, s.v. "Adel"), an attestation prior to the year 1350 is required to establish Uradel status.

Chacun pense а soi
by: OrtalChacun pense a soi
Comme si il n'y avait que ca,
Chacun mene a bien
Que ce qu'il veut bien.
Chacun pense a soi
Comme si il n'y avait que ca,
Chacun mene a bien
Que ce qu'il veut bien. Regardons autour de nous
On vit dans un monde de fous
Chacun cherche sa gloire,
Chacun cherche l'espoir.
On oublie ce qui nous entoure
Ceux qui nous donnent de l'Amour
On chasse de notre memoire
Ce qui nous empeche d'y croire.
On laisse au bord du chemin.
Les chagrins sans lendemain,
On poursuit chacun sa route.
On laisse au bord de la route
Chacun tous ses petits doutes,
On poursuit son chemin. Chacun pense a soi
Comme si il n'y avait que ca,
Chacun mene a bien
Que ce qu'il veut bien.
Chacun pense a soi
Comme si il n'y avait que ca,
Chacun mene a bien
Que ce qu'il veut bien.
Tenir au creux de ses mains
Les clefs de notre destin,
Mener a la victoire
Tous nos reves d'un soir.
Et on court apres le temps
On passe a cote des gens,
On court apres l'argent,
On se cache, on se ment.
Meme si la solitude
Est notre seule attitude,
On garde en chacun de nous
L'Amour de ceux qui nous aime,
Meme si on a de la peine,
On se retrouvera.
Meme si la realite
N'est pas notre verite,
On continue a y croire
A se battre pour notre histoire.
Meme si le prix a payer
Est plus cher a chaque fois,
On continue a y croire
Des espoirs pour nos espoirs.
Chacun pense a soi
Comme si il n'y avait que ca,
Chacun mene a bien
Que ce qu'il veut bien.
Chacun pense a soi
Comme si il n'y avait que ca,
Chacun mene a bien
Que ce qu'il veut bien.
Chacun pense a soi
Comme si il n'y avait que ca,
Chacun mene a bien
Que ce qu'il veut bien.
Chacun pense a soi
Comme si il n'y avait que ca,
Chacun mene a bien
Que ce qu'il veut bien.

"EVERYONE THINKS ABOUT THEMSELVES"
Everyone thinks about themselves
As if they were the only ones,
Everyone sees it through
Just what they really want to do
Everyone thinks about themselves
As if they were the only ones,
Everyone sees it through
Only what they really want to do
Let's look around us
We live in a crazy world
Everyone seeks some glory,
Everyone seeks some hope
We forget all the things around us
Those who give us love.
We dismiss from our memory
Everything that stops us believing.
We leave by the edge of the path
The short-lived sorrows.
Everyone, follow the road
and leave by its edge
every last doubt
And carry on walking.
Everyone thinks about themselves
As if they were the only ones,
Everyone sees it through
Just what they really want to do
Everyone thinks about themselves
As if they were the only ones,
Everyone sees it through
Only what they really want to do
Holding in our hands
The keys of our destiny
Leading to victory
Our one night's dreams.
And we run after time,
We turn away from people,
We run after money,
We hide and lie to each other
Even though loneliness
Is our unique attitude,
We keep to ourselves
The love of those who love us,
Even though we feel upset,
We will meet up again.
Even if reality
Is not our truth,
We keep on believing,
And fight for our history.
Though the price to pay
Is more expensive each time,
We keep on believing
A few hopes for our new hopes.
Everyone thinks about themselves
As if they were the only ones,
Everyone sees it through
Just what they really want to do
Everyone thinks about themselves
As if they were the only ones,
Everyone sees it through
Only what they really want to do
