Dankbar [English translation]

I don’t cry any more

I look to the sky

And what I see there.

I have never wanted.

as I see a crying angel.

Mum.

I’ve never wanted to be here

You have never asked me.

Nevertheless I’m grateful to you today

It was a gift that you gave me. I love you.

Bushido:

There’re things children don’t understand

That’s why you could find me in the nursery

I didn’t want to play with others.

Visits of the acquainted were enough for me

As these voices in my head made me fear

I wanted to knock my head against a brick wall.

I could never understand and what flowed

were only your tears in the end.

My anger became blind

my hatred grew

And everything I said left me cursed

I thought they wanted to put something bad to me

as I was so young and vulnerable

This boy had no aim in their eyes,

The problems he made,

a mute scream for love.

No prospects.

I felt so lonely.

My world was gloom and snow-covered.

J-Luv:

Mum.

I’ve never wanted to be here

You have never asked me.

Nevertheless I’m grateful to you today

It was a gift that you gave me. I love you.

Bushido:

There’re things that I understand today

Mum didn’t want to give me joy

She cared about me, she wished me the best only.

And I should tell you something, Mum, I appreciate it now.

I caused tears and worries, I know.

But still deep inside I hoped that you would forgive me next day.

You’re endlessly good

and I wasn’t mature.

I draw the line.

You’re so good personally

and whatever I do, you love your son.

You catch me when I fall,

you’re here when I’m nothing.

The only woman who wishes me luck.

No matter what mistakes I make

And the problems I cause.

Even when I fool away my life,

she is next to me.

Your protective hand.

You’re the person whom I own my luck.

J-Luv:

Mum.

I’ve never wanted to be here.

You have never asked me.

Nevertheless I’m grateful to you today.

It was a gift that you gave me. I love you.

I don’t cry any more.

I look to the sky.

And you look down on me,

as you love me

the way I am.

And I see a smiling angel.
