Troy [English translation]

F to the A-N-T-A-S

Alright, now comes the mega-stress

You guys wanted to go just now, ahah, forget it

We'll see who's leaving who here

You say you love another band now

I'm sorry, I don't understand?

Even if the last years have been tough

What do the others have, that we don't?

I understand that you just felt alone

After all that time it was an easy game

to just touch you once again

You only let yourself be seduced in order to feel something

But only we know what you really need

When you felt down we brought you up

And when you felt better we were there too

It just wasn't enough but we needed time

We needed to keep on doing the town1a little longer

We both knew a relationship thrives on new ideas

Weren't we a top team together

We didn't deserve that, we wrote the hits

I'll prove that we haven't lost any of that

We'll make a fresh start

And not listen to what anyone says

Believe me, we stayed troy to you to this day!

You had good times

We were there

We'll accompany you

We stay troy

You had bad times

And we were there too

We'll accompany you

We stay troy

The times were tough, no high only low

And always this popstar show

It wasn't like that with anyone else again

Like with the cool band Smudo

You had your fun from date to date

But somehow somewhere there was something missing

Yo, it doesn't matter how much time has passed

It's never too late for true love

You know you and I – that was something

We smoked stash and weed and grass en masse2

I loaded you up with lyrics and you listened

We had great sex with all kinds of extras

I ask: what's old but doesn't get rusty anyways?

What keeps you young and doesn't cost much?

Fan and band, girl and boy

Siegfried and Roy – Troy!

You had good times

We were there

We'll accompany you

We stay troy

You had bad times

And we were there too

We'll accompany you

We stay troy (2x)

We've known each other for half an eternity

While we only had a few quarrels

Only once in a while was there a bit of trouble

Through all the gossip and rumor you felt messed with

But it wasn't hard to get you back around again

These four boys are so lovable

Seems as if we've always been young

Weren't very quiet but very different

Sometimes you needed someone; eloquent and educated

Who'd explain the world to you and race with you3

Sometimes you wanted to go a little deeper

Alternate ideas to our lousy system

Or sometimes you felt rather luxury yacht-y

And we went through in the coolest club in town

But we always struck the right tone

Never tried to fool you, that wouldn't have been worth it

Then came a band that was more troy to you

Whose CDs were never too expensive to you

Music is therapy, we're taxable

Go on and tell me again you have a new star – pah!

It's ok, I understand you

Yes, I agree, he looked similar to me

Now come here, waiting's over!

We're with you again and will stay troy!

You had good times

We were there

We'll accompany you

We stay troy

You had bad times

And we were there too

We'll accompany you

We stay troy (2x)

Troy, so troy

troy, so troy

And we'll stay troy

Troy, so troy

Troy, so troy

troy, so troy

And we'll stay troy

troy, so troy

Hey, hey, hey I was your troy companion

Hey, hey, hey the Fantas4are in town

Hey, hey, hey we make ourselves a bit wider
