Ich kann nur den Refrain [English translation]

When I'm sitting alone in my car, I listen to the radio.

They play all the super hits, this just makes me happy.

Then this song that everyone likes is already playing again,

I sing at the top of my lungs, because it doesn't bother anyone.

Bet then I come to a stop, today is quite extreme.

When I sing along I always have this stupid problem:

I can only sing the refrain. The verses are to difficult.

I can only sing the refrain. But I would gladly sing more.

I can only sing the refrain. I can't do the rest,

because I'm just overwhelmed by the verses.

It was particularly bad in the karaoke bar.

The basic principle is clear to every absolute idiot:

You sing to a playback that shows the lyrics.

But I didn't have my glasses on, so I just blew it.

The song started with the sweep verse, that wasn't hard at all.

But then came the verse, and the bar emptied right away...

I can only sing the refrain...

I ask myself often why there are even verses.

The part of the song people really love is just the refrain.

Take all the verses out and for every hit

also take the middle out. Then everybody would sing along.

I can only sing the refrain...
