Pech oder Glück [English translation]

One hears it in the stories of our fathers

As a child our grandmothers told

In all the fairy tales the end was always the same

The hero gets the girl, fame and kingdom

And as is so often the case in real life

Staged differently than in ancient fables

Fate helps many a bad soul

And justice is only on paper

Whether bad luck or luck

Everything comes back

No matter what you give

Whether love is war

Yes, if existence were not full of lightheartedness

When every plague that befell us is the same

The certainty is in any case

That the culprit is certainly the same

Whether bad luck or luck

Everything comes back

(It comes back)

No matter what you give

Whether love is war

(It comes back)

an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth

Yes, we firmly believe it

Whether bad luck or luck

Everything comes back

Whether bad luck or luck

Everything comes back

It comes back

It comes back

Whether bad luck or luck

Everything comes back

(It comes back)

No matter what you give

Whether love is war

(It comes back)

an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth

Yes, we firmly believe it

Whether bad luck or luck

Everything comes back

Whether bad luck or luck

Everything comes back

It comes back

It comes back
