Reich mir nicht deine Hand [English translation]

Part 1

I'd just turned three, when you left me

It was mummy who couldn't get over it

She wanted to divorce, stop the lies

How often did she get beaten by you?

How often did you yell to her?

Her arms were black and blue, still she didn't stop loving her husband

Maybe it was because of me

She stayed strong, so I wouldn't lose my father

And I didn't know what was going on

I even wondered if you were dead, why did it have to happen to me?

I was in kindergarten

But did you come once to pick me up? No, you betrayed your child

You were thinking about me, why can't I believe you?

if you can do it, then look me in the eyes

you let me down

I watch the images and start to hate your face

(Ref.)

Don't hold out your hand

I won't take it this time, I never want to see you again

Now don't come

and tell me I have to understand you, I'm done with tears

Don't reach me the hand

You've dissappointed me so much, yet you made this son

Now don't come

You don't need to tell me anything, mummy told me you wanted to go yourself

(Part 2)

I thank my school time

My first day at school alone and the first day in the football (soccer) team

but you didn't care

Till now, I still don't know the reason, father you lie to your boy

I don't like to teach you something

And I'm not calling you a coward, but because of you I was a child from a residental accomodation

The candles on the cake were burning without you

You're a liar when you say that you miss your son

I was only five and already alone on the playground

Where was this father, who loved me?

How can you disregard your child like that?

yes, you are my father, but surely not mature

So often you dealed drugs, I stole so often

Mommy didn't dare to beat her son

And I don't like to tell you

but I missed you, you didn't witness my youth

(Ref.)

Don't hold out your hand

I won't take it this time, I never want to see you again

Now don't come

and tell me I have to understand you, I'm done with tears

Don't reach me the hand

You've dissappointed me so much, yet you made this son

Now don't come

You don't need to tell me anything, mummy told me you wanted to go yourself

(Part 3)

I saw you for the first time, too late

I was 26 years old, ok?

You were not the father I hoped to have

I found your stupid adress on a post card

And I've looked for you in Düsseldorf

Found you in Düsseldorf and cursed Düsseldorf

I was in your house, I looked at you

You've hurt me, stop begging me

You said mommy wanted to divorce you

When you were drunk, you were like a stranger

And for sure, you aren't sorry

Today I tell you, it wasn't easy for your child

And I don't wish you bad

Out of the thought, that no one on God's earth is perfect

I'm grown up, now I can take care of mommy

They had gone, I thought about mommy's worries

(Ref.)

Don't hold out your hand

I won't take it this time, I never want to see you again

Now don't come

and tell me I have to understand you, I'm done with tears

Don't reach me the hand

You've dissappointed me so much, yet you made this son

Now don't come

You don't need to tell me anything, mummy told me you wanted to go yourself
