Große Jungs weinen nicht [English translation]

Every day, every night you're stuck in your role

You haven't noticed it, but it is in control

of you and of the thoughts you have

at least almost

because sometimes you get the feeling you're missing out on something

But what, you'd rather not know

because you don't want to miss something

that doesn't fit into a world

in which only being cool and tough count.

That's the game.

But what's the goal?

Where is the point,

where do you want to go

with your question marks

that don't reach you

because you always have to be tough

you always have to be strong

you can't show weakness

you always have to live greatness.

You follow your goals,

no time for feelings

You always have to know what you want

because only then you count.

It is what it is

but if you're honest

admit it, sometimes you've missed it.

But big boys don't cry, because that's embarrassing

And if they do, they do it secretly

Big boys wage wars

celebrate their victories

Would rather freeze to death

than loose their face

because everyone wants to be the stronger one

everyone's fighting for himself

They couldn't forgive themselves their losses

because who loses doesn't fit into this word

It's about power, it's about money

It's about telling the others

"I always have an answer, whatever the question"

You are bigger than yourself

Because you pretend you're something you're not

Becaue you keep it to yourself

wenn you torture yourself with your thoughts

that don't fit into your schema

you begin to hate yourself

You'd rather leave weaknesses to the others

Because you have your goals,

no time for feelings

You always have to know what you want

because only then you count.

It is what it is

but if you're honest

admit it, sometimes you've missed it.

But big boys don't cry, because that's embarrassing

And if they do, they do it secretly
