Das Grizzly Lied [English translation]

Always wanted to escape from the dog's life

From the kitchen table made from an upside-down cardboard box

And away from the vermits in the closet

to be more than the subtenant of the man on the street, one day.

Imagined it differently, moved into the distance to Atlanta.

Only pictures of the big world smash to pieces without money in the trailer park, on the outskirts of the city.

Mama was fed up with it, we were simply poor, simply miserable, you were there one year, then one year in the war

Never knew where that was, when you'd come back again

Painted you pictures of suns in every letter to the front.

"My son," you said, when we were shooting in the woods,

"Never put up with anything, never forget this bang.

As frightened as you get, still face your enemy,

real man get back up, only cowards don't!"

2x:

Dad said: "Son, take my gun.

One time you're the hunter, one time you're the bear.

But if

you have to be the bear, for God's sake, then fight!

And I'm a grizzly now. (I'm a grizzly now)

And you also said: "When life only hands you lemons,

then, damnit, make lemonade.

Speak frankly, chin up, never cowardly, son.

Don't play with hearts or with those, who play with yours.

We're not rich, we never will be.

Problems that are too big for life, but too small to die for.

You know, it doesn't rain heavily forever,

Always only up to the chin and listen, time to learn to swim.

As much as I'd like to always be there, if worst comes to worst, take your fist, point your finger.

Look for the biggest guy of the gang, jump on him, take a hard swing.

You'll only lose once, because when all has been given,

they'll think twice the next time.

The meaning of live is living, that's it.

The meaning of life is living.

Everyone sometimes inadvertently misses their footing,

The trick with that is always keeping the balance between taking and giving.

2x:

Dad said: "Son, take my gun.

One time you're the hunter, one time you're the bear.

But if

you have to be the bear, for God's sake, then fight!

And I'm a grizzly now. (I'm a grizzly now)

5x:

It wouldn't be as it is, today,

if it hadn't been the way it was. (The way it was.)

The meaning of life is living!

2x:

Dad said: "Son, take my gun.

One time you're the hunter, one time you're the bear.

But if

you have to be the bear, for God's sake, then fight!

And I'm a grizzly now. (I'm a grizzly now)
