Du musst dich nicht messen [English translation]

About achievement and worth and how they cause each other

As if it was about records, about defeating them

You are taught to perform tricks nicely

And to jump through hoops that they give to you

And driven you look around, who is your friend?

And who's competition? Who knows more?

Who is able to do more?

And who is already giving up?

But now come out with me, dance in waving cloths

You know, a lot is written in big books

And you can read and know and forget everything again

I carry you in my heart. No matter what. You don't have to measure yourself

As if it only was about goals and reaching them

The beginning of disaster would be to compare yourself

Everyone knows that, everyone suspects that, but the competition exists anyway

What do you make out of your time?

Did you accomplish everything or fail at everything?

Did you work hard one day or did you dream?

Relax, sit down!

There's enough to eat for everyone

And water and air...

You don't have to measure yourself

Human beings are perfect when they do what they like doing

Human beings are perfect when they become who they are

When they laugh, when they cry

When they dream, when they wake up

And you are perfect the way you are

And now relax, start the voyage of sleep

You know, what do I need proof of love for?

I don't have to struggle for anything, don't have to fear for anything, don't have to

blackmail for words

I carry you in my heart. No matter what. You don't have to measure yourself
