Schwarzer Mann English translation
von Chakuza

[Part I]
Why does someone give me something when they finally take it away from me again
So'n fuck I feel dirty and tied up like a prisoner
Why do I work my ass off when everything sucks like the rest sounds
And the heart valves flutter like a sail mast in the west wind
Yes life is business, I want love on credit
And if anyone gives it to me, I have to steal it like a thief
Peace inside, war outside, I'm on my way home
That's sad but apparently without a wife I'm screwed
I have to learn to walk again and each leg weighs a ton
And I beg you come don't leave me alone dear sun
I could use just a little bit of time to warm up
It was cold for 28 years and I didn't learn anything from it
My eyes get heavy, I press the keys on the piano
And bridge the time with a smoke and a crate of warm beer
I can't believe what happened on the days when I'm cold
I put my arms around my girl and I sleep close to her


[2x hook]
I'm tired but feel like I can never sleep again
There's a huge black man standing by my bed and looking at me
And I ask him, man you're here for me, is that right?
And maybe I'll take you for a walk from here, but he doesn't speak

It's 3am again and I'm awake like I'm on it
And I'm sitting there between the flickering TV and cold smoke
I don't squeeze out the unfiltered butt and it burns up
I don't feel like Chakuza anymore, just look like this guy
I'm sad, sometimes angry because I don't understand everything
Say what am I still doing here? I have nothing to lose either
What I had was taken away, oh fuck I felt empty
They grabbed my big treasure and then washed it into the sea
Shards bring luck? what rubbish, i've had enough of this
And wait for the hooded man to come visit me
The blood in my veins clotted and turned black
And I hope what's going on isn't true, it's all just for fun
Just a film with a bad script when I wanted to get out and escape
Much to me that nothing remained for me, except to play the leading role
And when I get up, I'm pursuing a goal, but I'm just running in circles again
In this huge black hole, I'm a pawn in white


[2x hook]

And I ask him, man you're here for me, is that right?
