Was wäre wenn [English translation]

[VERSE 1]

If it’s your time to go, tell me who will weep for you?

Who stops by your grave, and who shits on you?

Who will say that you deserved death?

And who, that he loved you to death? ¹

When you’re young and your dreams come to an end ²

And hope and aspiration become your friends

If life was never really fair

And your true love wasn’t worth the fighting.

They will say that you’re not worth anything

And that, so long until your heart breaks

If none of your friends are there for you

You will already notice if your heart is made of glass

If your parents weep because they don’t understand you

You have a very good reason to be ashamed.

You can’t understand this, you haven’t seen it

When death calls us, it’s called goodbye

[Chorus]

If the ifs wouldn’t be, tell me where I would be

Would I be like her, or would I be like him?

If the ifs wouldn’t be, tell me what would then be

Would it be as now, or would I know more?

If the ifs wouldn’t be, tell me where I would be

Would I be like her, or would I be like him?

If the ifs wouldn’t be, tell me what would then be

Would it be as now, or would I know more?

[Verse 2]

If you open your eyes, you can see their lies

You go to bed to survive the day

‘Cause people hate this world

If a person doesn’t find an answer to the question,

“What do people do in this world?”

If you believe that the devil wagers for your life ³

If you cry, but no one sees your tears

‘Cause this world shows no regard

They’ll notice if your laughter doesn’t sound happy anymore

If you’re full of doubts every day

And swim through the same shit every day

They will say that you don’t fit into the picture

You will believe them, until you take a picture yourself

You stay strong, and let on you don’t notice ⁴

‘Cause that little boy needs to become a man now

You want to be tough, because this life is hard

But think about it, only death is for free

[Chorus]

If the ifs wouldn’t be, tell me where I would be

Would I be like her, or would I be like him?

If the ifs wouldn’t be, tell me what would then be

Would it be as now, or would I know more?

If the ifs wouldn’t be, tell me where I would be

Would I be like her, or would I be like him?

If the ifs wouldn’t be, tell me what would then be

Would it be as now, or would I know more?
