Ein Teil von mir [English translation]

I got to know your mother when I was still a nobody

I had nothing and nobody, but she was there

I lived at her place, she took care of me

But I realized fast that this made no sense

Without perspectives, what could I offer to her?

Boys like me were like parasites to the girls

I feared having commitments, I was a stray

I chilled with my friends every day

We've often quarrelled, went at it with hammer and tongues

First you shout loudly at each other, then you're calm once again

That's how it is when the women forgive a man

It went on like this every day

Up to the day she called me and she cried

She sounded desperate, now here it is

I though she had betrayed me

But she was pregnant

You are my son, I love you

I will do everything to keep you satisfied

I retrieve my error, I proof it to you

You are my flesh, my blood, you are a part of me

You are my son, I love you

I will do everything to keep you satisfied

I know now that everything will be alright, you show it to me

You are my flesh, my blood, you are a part of me

I did not know how it could work out, I was only 19 years old

Not yet as well-situated as I am today

I was a child myself, how should I raise you then?

Why should Mama love a useless pothead

I left

I deserted her

And it hurts so much, I also left you

Maybe it was a mistake and d*mn I regret it

I have missed you taking your first steps, please forgive me

You said your first word and I was not present

Your first hair, your first tooth, now it is too late

I only hoped every day that you were alright

Now you are six yours old and look at me, I am a man now

And everything I touch turns into godl

And as fate goes

I met a guy who knew someone who knew someone else

Who had the phone number of your aunt

I called her, I was so excited

Fortunately your aunt did not put the call back right away

And I nearly died, I went down on my knees

When I saw you again, you look like a mini-me

I am so proud of you, I will never leave again

I am there for you now, I retrieve my errror
