Mann muss

English translation

I once ran into a burning house

Like a fireman

But all the evidence for it

Unfortunately they burned

I swam with sharks

And fought with bears

Won all the prizes

But the trophies were given away

I'll tell my grandchildren later

That there was no one stronger than me

Because that's exactly how my grandfather felt about it

Already said it back then

Everyone does what they can

Man does what man has to

With so much strength in your arms

And so much air in the chest

Nobody asked me

But that doesn't matter

I'll do everything for us

Everyone does what they can

But what does a man do oh

Man does what man has to

I've never used a navigation system

Because I know every way

And only when I cut onions

I fight back tears

Oh, and score goals

It's just in my blood

Only I didn't become a professional

Because I was way too good

I'll tell my grandchildren later

I used to drive a Ferrari

Because that's exactly how my grandfather felt about it

Already said it back then

Everyone does what they can

Man does what man has to

With so much strength in your arms

And so much air in the chest

Nobody asked me

But that doesn't matter

I'll do everything for us

Everyone does what they can

But what does a man do oh

Man does what man has to

Man does what man has to

Hated by some

And loved by some

Don't go to therapy

Because it's not up to me

It's like a curse

For thousands of years

This is what we stand for with our name

Everyone does what they can

Man does what man has to

With so much strength in your arms

And so much air in the chest

Nobody asked me

But that doesn't matter

I'll do everything for us

Everyone does what they can

But what does a man do?

Man does what man has to

Man does what man has to
