Wünsch dir was [English translation]

Intro (children's choir)

The time is coming

When wishing will help

When wishing will help (x2)

Make a wish (x3)

Bridge (children's choir) :

Make a wish (x7)

Verse 1:

So many wishes, we want too much.

Rap stars and groupies, but we don't see

that blood drips from diamond necklaces.

Sneakers or blue jeans? Made in the third world.

We don't want to give them up, even

when our conscience troubles us. More for us, less for them

Until cobblestones fly and then it rains petrol

Do you want a yacht off the coast?

Those who didn't manage to flee are struggling in the water.

Nothing comes for free, but only others pay

This state has sold itself, and betrayed us to the banks (Thanks!)

Blinded by shining lights

We've been chasing dreams since the 90s

Be careful what you wish for

Not all our wishes should be granted

Choose wisely, otherwise someone at the other end of the world will be looking into the barrel of a gun.

Refrain: Make a wish

Life is not a request show

But every life is a miracle

You have to believe it and it will come true

Think before you act, and make a wish

No, life is not a request show

But every life is a miracle

You have to believe it and it will come true

Close your eyes and make a wish

Verse 2:

I wish I had seen Woodstock,

That my teachers knew what it's like to live inside my castles in the air

I wished for a self-made deal, and I got it

Luckily, I never have to go back to McDonalds

But almost every wish has a dark side

More money, more problems, more enemies

There's always hope, but not everyone makes it

out of the favela, like Neymar

The lobbies want the people kept down

But one day we'll rise up and the boomerang will come back

This is the law, there's no other way

Every wish is followed by a consequence

And the moral of the story is:

We are greedy, and that is what destroys us

The price of our wishes is souls

They already outnumber the stars, who can count them?

Refrain: Make a wish
