Ich mache was ich will [English translation]

I know it isn't easy

when one doesn't reach one's goal

I know your problem

I understand you very well

But when you're really alive

When you go for your truth

When you truly believe in yourself

You'll get everything you need

I do what I want

I do the thing I believe in

I live my truth

I trust my eyes

I alone am

dedicated to my words

I do what I want

I do the thing that pleases me

I'm not talking about money

But of that which really counts

Not about minor luck

Consider me mad

But I know what I'm talking about

I know why I'm alive (why I live?)

One is what one makes of it

And one gets what one creates

Even when I lose a thousand times

When i perish because of it

You won't frighten me

I won't do what you want

I belong to my words

My words, my songs

And in case you speak my language

We shall meet again.
