Du musst dich nicht messen [English translation]
Du musst dich nicht messen [English translation]
About achievement and worth and how they cause each other
As if it was about records, about defeating them
You are taught to perform tricks nicely
And to jump through hoops that they give to you
And driven you look around, who is your friend?
And who's competition? Who knows more?
Who is able to do more?
And who is already giving up?
But now come out with me, dance in waving cloths
You know, a lot is written in big books
And you can read and know and forget everything again
I carry you in my heart. No matter what. You don't have to measure yourself
As if it only was about goals and reaching them
The beginning of disaster would be to compare yourself
Everyone knows that, everyone suspects that, but the competition exists anyway
What do you make out of your time?
Did you accomplish everything or fail at everything?
Did you work hard one day or did you dream?
Relax, sit down!
There's enough to eat for everyone
And water and air...
You don't have to measure yourself
Human beings are perfect when they do what they like doing
Human beings are perfect when they become who they are
When they laugh, when they cry
When they dream, when they wake up
And you are perfect the way you are
And now relax, start the voyage of sleep
You know, what do I need proof of love for?
I don't have to struggle for anything, don't have to fear for anything, don't have to
blackmail for words
I carry you in my heart. No matter what. You don't have to measure yourself
