Translation of Hengstin from German to English
I'm a mare
I'm a mare
Who put you in chains? Chains of silver and gold
Did you choose the silver? Did you want this yourself?
Do you stay compliant, so that everyone likes you?
A woman's weapons are turned against herself
You've learned that it's better not to break any rules
That it's better not to break your nails in a fight
Deep voices rise, against you, gagging you
But those who dare not speak, do not feel their gags
You ask, what's the matter? Let's talk straight!
I don't believe that my gender is the weaker one
I don't believe that my body is my weapon
I don't believe that my body is your business
Pull yourself together, it's never too late
Because a path only emerges when you walk it
I'm not a herd animal, just because I'm not a stallion,
I'm a, I'm a mare
Trust no system, trust no one
Don't let yourself be tamed by sugar and whip
I'm not a herd animal, just because I'm not a stallion
I'm a, I'm a, I'm a mare
I'm a mare
I'm a mare
Festival main stage full of VIPs
Record company, executive floor all full of VIPs
Very Important Penises where are the ladies in business?
Wherever you step, there are ties everywhere
It's been the same old song for hundreds of years
The same song that the chauvinists like to celebrate
They get drunk on testosterone until they vomit
I see so many men and so few balls
Don't tell me that this topic is old news
You don't have to paint everything black to see what's going on
We live in a men's joke that's not funny
But if you tell it well, no one notices how flat it is
Pull yourself together, it's never too late
Because a path only emerges when you walk it
I'm not a herd animal, just because I'm not a stallion
I'm a, I'm a mare
Trust no system, trust no one
Don't let yourself be tamed by sugar and whip
I'm not a herd animal, just because I'm not a stallion
I'm a, I'm a, I'm a mare
I'm a mare
I'm a mare
