Herz [English translation]

[Chorus]:

You have to listen to your heart

Hear how it beats, how it begs, how it screams,

Hear how it lives, how it laughs, how it cries

Even if you want me to, I will not intervene

The way you do it will be alright

You have to listen to your heart

Hear how it beats, how it laughs, how it cries

If you want it to, it will decide for you

Even if you'll regret it someday, it will be alright

[Verse 1]:

You and your wife, you're a beautiful couple

You repeat your bridal vow every year

You have two Kids now, you earn good money

You have a women that loves you and will stay on your side forever

You trust her, She trusts you

Something like that doesn't happen every day, my friend, believe me

You can tell her anything, she'll always listen

In her head there's always you

You are even getting another child now

You are so happy, but something botheres you

You don't let it show, but she's getting too fat

You don't find her sexy, when her belly grows

That's why you go out today, you need sex

You call the boys, you're going clubbing again

To this Over-Party, Sido puts you on the (Guest) List

You don't hesistate for long, you talk to the girls

And you take off your (wedding ring), so that they will believe you easily

One takes the hook, she starts immediatly

Not even the Iceman could help with your errection

I don't care what you do now, I can't decide this

Put it in... No... Don't do it... I mean

[Chorus]:

You have to listen to your heart

Hear how it beats, how it begs, how it screams,

Hear how it lives, how it laughs, how it cries

Even if you want me to, I will not intervene

The way you do it will be alright

You have to listen to your heart

Hear how it beats, how it laughs, how it cries

If you want it to, it will decide for you

Even if you'll regret it someday, it will be alright

[Verse 2]:

You hate the whole world because you have nothing

In School, everyone laughs at you because you're poor

Everyone wears the original Nike's, but you only have the ones from Poland

You don't have any friends, in school you're always in a hurry

You only want to go home, because mum's not well

She sits alone and cries infront of her Aids-Test

Should that be the punishment for this hard time?

She had to stay on the streets, she had to earn money

And you begin to pray, you begin to talk to God

You begin to eat heaps only to puke afterwards

Then, one day, you meet a man in the Park

He gives you brown Powder for 20 Mark (Old German Currency)

And you know it can send you flying

But it can also ruin lives, and turn humans to animals

I don't care what you do know, I can't decide this

Inject it ... no ... don`t do it... I mean ...

[Chorus]:

You have to listen to your heart

Hear how it beats, how it begs, how it screams,

Hear how it lives, how it laughs, how it cries

Even if you want me to, I will not intervene

The way you do it will be alright

You have to listen to your heart

Hear how it beats, how it laughs, how it cries

If you want it to, it will decide for you

Even if you'll regret it someday, it will be alright

[Bridge]:

You have to listen to your heart

You have to listen to your heart

listen to your hear, listen to your heart, listen to your heart (echo)

[Verse 3]:

Sometimes you reach the point where you can't go any further

You want to go left but on the right there is also another way

No one knows which one is the best for you, now

You have to listen to your hear, it's better for your conscience

Everyone makes mistakes, even the guy from next door

Important is only, whether you can live with your Mistakes

You can't always make the right decision

Some of your decisions can break your legs

I won't say that your heart decides perfectly

But between the other opinions, it's always the best one

Don't let anybody tell you what to do

[Chorus]:

You have to listen to your heart

Hear how it beats, how it begs, how it screams,

Hear how it lives, how it laughs, how it cries

Even if you want me to, I will not intervene

The way you do it will be alright

You have to listen to your heart

Hear how it beats, how it laughs, how it cries

If you want it to, it will decide for you

Even if you'll regret it someday, it will be alright.
