Ein Lied für dich (A Song For You) (English Translation) – Apache 207
[Part 1]
The soccer cleats from my brother, long since gathering dust
Stand as a symbol for a shattered dream
A few friends who swear they’re gonna make it big
Half of them are in [prison], and the other half are on a construction site
[Pre-Hook]
And just like everyone tells you:
“You can achieve anything you want”
And you try every day
They only say that because they’ve never been in my neighborhood
The “future is pink,” but what about the present?
We’re almost dying
[Hook]
I sing a song, so beautiful it almost makes you cry
“Record that, brother, maybe we’ll get rich”
But wait a second, I’ll pour us another one
‘Cause it’s not so easy to lie when you’re sober
[Part 2]
Marlboro Gold, the tour bus so full
Cigarette butts being crushed by some random old folks
Brother, look how nice, how blue the sky shines
He says: “Are you crazy, man? Throw everything out the window, now, there’s police”
Babe, you have beautiful teeth, but please put them away, ouch
No butterflies in my stomach, ’cause this world is so cruel
Leather on my couch, latex on beautiful women
Chilling in a full tour bus as a Schlager singer, that was always my dream, yeah
[Pre-Hook]
I look into a thousand faces
Give everything for the applause
Sink into a sea of lights
And dissolve into white smoke
[Hook]
I sing a song, so beautiful it almost makes you cry
“Record that, brother, maybe we’ll get rich”
But wait a second, I’ll pour us another one
‘Cause it’s not so easy to lie when you’re sober
[Outro]
Da-da, Da-da, Da-da, Da
Da-da, Da-da, Da-da, Da-da
Da-da, Da-da, Da-da, Da
Da-da, Da-da
I sing a song, so beautiful it almost makes you cry
