Translation of Mensch from German to English
Have you been human today?
Have you laughed today?
Tell me, is there someone out there who makes you happy?
The path is rocky and never really fair
I think it wouldn't be wrong
If people were to be human sometimes
You have a job, I know
You worry about the colleague who is achieving more
But knows nothing about his daughter
Because she asks every evening: "Will he come home again?"
"Will he come home again?" What good are good cards in business
If he lets his child play cards alone?
It's not a magical law
To know that a career sometimes leaves scars
Have you been human today?
Have you laughed today?
Tell me, is there someone out there who makes you happy?
The path is rocky and never really fair
I think it wouldn't be wrong
If people were to be human sometimes
It wouldn't be wrong
But she goes to bed early because university is tough right now
Gets up at six because she still has to study
No reply to her mom's message, because her graduation is more important to her right now
What good are good grades on a test
If her mother doesn't even know what's stressing her?
It's not a magical law
Everyone knows that too much pressure also leaves dark phases
And one day it could come to this
Lonely on a golden balcony
Big garden, but it's empty of people
Because the closest ones are no longer there
Have you been human today?
Have you laughed today?
Tell me, is there a world out there that makes you happy?
The path is rocky and never really fair
I think it wouldn't be wrong
If people were to be human sometimes
If people were to be human sometimes
