Du bist ein Mensch [English translation]

Bushido:

Why do we wage war, why do we kill here?

Sometimes it becomes clear to me I have evil within me

A lot of evil happens, that's all well and good,

but why does only blood come from oil?

Why are we so willing to stick at nothing?

Children are born, starve, doubt,

The rich get richer and the poor stay poor.

I ask myself "What have they done?"

It stays the way it is within us lies greed.

Why must we lose ourselves in the darkness,

In search for light from love comes poison.

There is no morality, you don't unwind for anything.

Why are you afraid, afraid of the future?

Why does helplessness only change to anger?

We are human beings full of grief and sorrow,

but god gives us a tomorrow.

Xavier Naidoo:

I don't believe it, that you are it, what tears this world apart.

I look into your laughing face and know who my heart belongs to.

Bushido:

Why do we make profit from fear?

Why are we human beings in love with conflict?

Why are the weak a burden for us?

Alone and lost in the darkest night,

The earth trembles, the sky weeps,

even so no one invites a stranger in,

You close your eyes, you live for yourself.

Why are we just always looking for meaning.

We strive for happiness, the end doesn't seem so faraway

and so unreachable for us, like a star.

Why are we so tired, sluggish and cold?

Life gets old, we lose our foothold,

and we no longer know the way, in this fog of rage.

and it doesn't come forward, that we are human beings full of grief and sorrow,

but god gives us a tomorrow.

Xavier Naidoo:

I don't believe it, that you are it, what tears this world apart.

I look into your laughing face and know who my heart belongs to

Xavier Naidoo:

You're not bad, you're not evil.

You're not the smallest and not the biggest either.

You're a human being, nothing more and nothing less.

Hunter or preacher, Poet and dyslexic

Xavier Naidoo:

I don't believe it, that you are it, what tears this world apart.
