Translation of Du bist ein Soldat from German to English
Wipe away the sweat, because I'm rising
Have blood on my hand
But am I picky?
And when my heart beats
Then the bomb hits
I hear people running
I hear friends screaming
Think of me and I know
Yes, I lack courage
I'll cover you, friend
One last breath and when I run, yes
Then I close my eyes
Because every bomb that hits
Can rob me of dreams again
Is the war over
So I don't have to aim?
Only noises that
Whistle like tinnitus
Feel a hard blow and
Someone pulling me
Can't say who it is
Because you can't see anything through the dust
I'm getting tired and want to sleep in Sovngarde
Don't let me be impressed
Think of beautiful days
But suddenly senses come
Back like in the wind
I'm not done here! That
Was not my purpose!
Take your fear and dare!
Take it on and don't let it happen!
Look in the mirror man, that's you!
Because you are a soldier!
Take your fear and dare!
Take it on and don't let it happen!
Look in the mirror man, that's you!
Because you are a soldier!
Back to my senses and yes the panic ran
And every bomb that hits is
A way to victory
Put on my helmet, take orders
Knock the gun empty of sand
So I can go
The sun is shining but flashes
As if there was a thunderstorm here
Grenades fly explode again
Behind me
I see soldiers, motionless without any gesture
The courage remains
But the body is decaying
When is the war over
So I don't have to suffer?
Keep moving and I
Hear enemy fire again
Everything is burning but I perceive my targets
Not hiding today
Because I'm not on this track anymore
And I load my gun
Get ready to shoot
Must concentrate
Now accuracy counts
Either they or I'm gone
And I fight for survival with all
Means for a good purpose!
Take your fear and dare!
Take it on and don't let it happen!
Look in the mirror man, that's you!
Because you are a soldier!
Take your fear and dare!
Take it on and don't let it happen!
Look in the mirror man, that's you!
Because you are a soldier!
Take your fear and dare!
Take it on and don't let it happen!
Look in the mirror man, that's you!
Because you are a soldier!
