Reich & schön English translation
von Fard

They say everyone is the architect of their own fortune
But who knows, maybe I don't deserve happiness at all
They ask me why I don't make love songs
Look me in the eyes, say, do you see this hate?
Ah, I was just nineteen
And my everyday life consisted of building shit, rolling a game library and joints
Ridiculous shit, ridiculous I know
God damn what a ridiculous time
A boy with no prospects walking the streets
And has nothing on his mind but this street stuff Until I saw you and your eyes
Al-hamdu lillah, a dream come true
But maybe it's just too much to ask
That you can love a boy like me
I'm a street boy, I don't own anything
But I want to be honest with you because you are important to me
But you took my hand
For the first time in nineteen years I swam ashore'
Tell me where you've been all these years
'Cause I became invincible when you took me in your arms

Rich and beautiful? No, that's not me
I'm the wrong one, if that's important to you
I only have my heart and my honesty
And I'm sorry because it's not enough for more

Rich and beautiful? No, that's not me
I'm the wrong one if that matters to you
I only have my heart and my honesty
And I'm sorry because it's not enough for more


With you by my side, my dream came true
Every one of my friends said we're a dream couple
I don't have to stay up all night anymore
Because lovers have no place in the disco
You took away all the hate and all the anger in me
I think fate is finally kind to me
You're not a human being, no, I would know that
You must be an angel, that's why you protect me
All your girlfriends laughed at you
You didn't give a fuck, you didn't mind
You said that looks weird
A street boy with a girl from a good family
But I'll do everything well, I promise, every kiss
So you don't have to be ashamed of me anymore
I know I only kept my last job for ten days
But you didn't see how ashamed I was
Please trust me, I'll show everyone
Don't be fooled, let me stay in your life
Rich and beautiful? No, I never was
But I was your king in my imagination

Rich and beautiful? No, that's not me
I'm the wrong one, if that's important to you
I only have my heart and my honesty
And I'm sorry because it's not enough for more

And now don't tell me the air's gone
Look at you, you can't take the pressure
And you wonder if I was really worth it
Because of us you only have trouble in your world
And you think your father might be right
And your future with me will be bad
You need a man who is already alive
And not like me, going through life as a daydreamer
Who drives a Benz and owns a nice house
You don't want to do without that like you do without your eyesight
I can understand you well, because you love glitz and glamour
And in your world I'm just a sick bum
They laugh at me, call me street boy
And you laughed at the street boy
About the boy who stood by your window at night
And called your name, forget that street thief
I'm gone where I'm appreciated
Where no one looks at me like I'm from the Enterprise
Your love was just a big joke
And because of her I became a boy without a heart

Rich and beautiful? No, that's not me
I'm the wrong one if that matters to you
I only have my heart and my honesty
And I'm sorry because it's not enough for more
