Jackpot [English translation]
Jackpot [English translation]
All on Black, tell the folks at the bar
It's high time to jump up
And thank you for the Flowers and the Booze, what a wonderful night.
This life is my Jackpot.
Oh baby, you’re my jackpot
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Jackpot, Baby)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Jackpot, Baby)
Eh-du-de-du-de-du-de (Jackpot, Baby)
And what does luck mean?
Oh I remember
It means that you’re never the winner
Because you think this whole life is an obstacle
When you sit in your room the whole summer
Yes, I was just like you, believe me
Luck isn’t waiting for you at the front door
But then I met her, ooh
And suddenly Luck just bursted out of me
I put everything on the line and fell too deep.
Was finished, didn't think I'd make it back up.
But within my darkest moments I could recognize something,
And I pulled myself together and went back to air.*
Because this life is my jackpot baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Jackpot, Baby)
I don't have to worry about a thing
Because I have the jackpot baby
Carlo!
I know exactly how Vernice sounds
Yes, I remember well
But I would like to forget, if I’m being honest
But today everything isn’t so bad
I’ll show you, I have it now
I mean, life isn’t so bad
Believe me, oh Lord
Because there’s so much more out there
There are so many people out there, who just think nonstop
Over a thousand consequences with a bunch of huge fears
And they run and run, from the outside I feel amazing.
Well do what you want, I’m out there to dance
Man, I’m walking on the walls doing backflips
I know, that somehow everything is perfect
Out together with Teesy and a few friends**
Homie***, Never going back home
Because we live everyday in this huge dream
And bet everything on Black, tell the folks at the bar
It's high time to sing
And thank you for the Flowers and the Booze, what a wonderful night.
This life is my Jackpot.
Oh baby, you’re my jackpot
Because I have the (Jackpot, Baby)
(Jackpot, Baby)
(Jackpot, Baby)
Bro, what are we gonna do with the money?
With what money?
Well, with this here!
What? Is this yours, or what?
I put it on the seven
The seven?
And another round
Jackpot yeah
(Jackpot, Baby)
(Jackpot, Baby)
(Jackpot, Baby)
*can't be translated literally, it means that you were almost drowning and now you returned to the surface and are able to breath again.
**paar translates to "a few", but its not used entirely correct within this sentence. He probably had to shorten it for it to work with the song. Still makes sense, just sounds weird)
***Dicker literally translates to "thick/fat person", it's used as a slang word within the german youth to call your friend. Can also be seen as "Digga" once in a while. The english equivalent would be "Homie", or in other slang terms "Fella", "Bro", "Nigga" [He's my Fella, Bro, Nigga etc.]
