So fest ich kann [English translation]

I feed the cat,

I smooth my hair,

I bleach my teeths,

I get through the year,

I do my taxes,

I hold my weight,

My child plays the piano very good,

Whether he wants it or not.

I control everything

I control nothing

And I hold my world firmly together

I hold my world as hard as I can

And when you touch me everyting falls apart

everything apart

And I hold my world so tightly together

that nobody can get out or come in

And when you touch me everyting falls apart

everything falls apart

I have no fears,

I have no anger,

I have no hunger,

I can do anything good

I control everything

I control nothing

And I hold my world firmly together

I hold my world as hard as I can

And when you touch me everyting falls apart

everything apart

And I hold my world so hard as I can

So hard that it can't breathe

And when you touch me everyting falls apart

everything apart

And I hold my world firmly together

I hold my world as hard as I can

And when you touch me everyting falls apart

everything apart

And I hold my world firmly together

I hold my world as hard as I can

And when you touch me everyting falls apart

everything apart (everything falls apart!)

And I hold my world (world firmly)

And I hold my world (world firmly)

And I hold my world firmly

then everything falls apart

And I hold my world firmly

And I hold my world firmly

And I hold my world firmly

And I hold my world firmly (everything falls apart)
