Lyrics & Translation
Because this can't go on
We have to try to look each other in the eye
And not shame the truth by cursing
For those who come after us, we have to achieve it
If we ignore the time of signs, yeah
Assume that my heart is breaking
Yeah, that's right, aha, that's right
Because our love has frozen
(Aha aha aha)
When my soul no longer speaks
(Yeah, that's right, aha, that's right)
Then I've lost this fight
My heart breaks when we don't realize that we belong together
And we don't stop destroying our lives
When I look at you, you're similar to me
Oh, only our views are turning
Sometimes you stand there, sometimes I stand here
(Sometimes you stand there, sometimes I stand here)
There's hardly any difference (hardly any difference)
Hardly any difference with you
I'm just keeping myself warm so I don't freeze
I'm just keeping myself warm so I don't freeze
Assume that my heart is breaking
(That's right, aha, that's right)
Because our love has frozen
(Come on, yeah, come on)
When my soul no longer speaks
(Yeah, aha, that's right, aha, that's right)
Then I've lost this fight
Assume that my heart is breaking
(That's right, aha)
Because our love has frozen
When my soul no longer speaks
Then I've lost this fight
I must make them notes, I'm a wild African
Yeah, in this time you can lose your soul
Coming from the tribe of King Solomon
Yeah, too many people like outta control
Anywhere me go say that the wheel gon' turn
That's why you know we gotta maintain the heart
Coming from the tribe of King Solomon
Before the devil comes and rips it apart
Ninja man he man the den calling
Yeah, respect all Germans and Africans
Fall on them in a style and fashion
'Cause you know we were born to be part of the plan
Anywhere we go no perpetration
Yaoh, true and deep love is what we need
Sons of man and make a style and fashion
All you gotta do is believe
What we need is not time (aha aha) but love
It would be hard for me if I didn't write my songs
But I write them for you and I write them for myself
All I need is a little light
So don't stop me before my soul no longer speaks
Assume that my heart is breaking
(That's right, come on, that's right, aha)
Because our love has frozen
When my soul no longer speaks
(That's right, come on, that's right, aha)
Then I've lost this fight
Assume that my heart is breaking
(That's right, come on)
Because our love has frozen
When my soul no longer speaks
Then I've lost this fight
MTV unplugged
The singing contest in Schwetzingen is coming to an end
We thank the Rococo Theater in Schwetzingen
MTV and everyone who made it possible
What will await me
