Geboren um zu leben English translation
von Kontra K & NESS

We were born to live, with the wonders of each time
To never forget each other, until the end of time
We were born to live, for that one single moment
When each of us felt how precious life is (hey)

We soar high and fall hard
Put out small fires with dynamite
Write new rhymes, but it’s the same old song
We want to help everyone, but don’t know how

We hold the world in our hands, but argue a lot
Hearts on our sleeves, but we never talk
I don’t believe in miracles, but I know where the magic lies
When you can see the soul in someone’s eyes

We break rules, let bullets rain
Cry tears of joy, bring new life
If I had just one wish
I’d wish that each and every one of you could live your dreams


We hate, we love, we can forgive
Just give it a little time
We feel, we suffer, we are real
And that’s what makes us human

We were born to live, with the wonders of each time
To never forget each other, until the end of time
We were born to live, for that one single moment
When each of us felt how precious life is (hey)

When you’re lying on the ground, the wind whispers
Listen closely, it says: “You’ve got this”
Even when grief burns inside like fire
Give yourself a moment, then stand back up

Open your heart, it’s going to get better
Because even the last can still become the first
Do yourself a favor and don’t turn bitter
The anger in your chest will fade as we grow older

Pain is important—it shows you’re still here
Because only evil makes the good in us strong
And only in hard times do we truly learn to cherish
How precious it is when life embraces us


We were born to live, with the wonders of each time
To never forget each other, until the end of time
We were born to live, for that one single moment
When each of us felt how precious life is

We were born to live
We were born to live
