Lieblingssong [English translation]

[Part 1]

Look, the song begins

and it actually doesn’t make any sense

but you listen anyway

‘cause you kinda like how that guy sounds ¹

and you’re excited by

such a mixture out of interesting

with an aftertaste of a little fear

‘cause you think it’s about time

for the drums

and then it starts

We’re still stuck at this same tone

That tone again please

and you think Ohoooho,

but that’s an Ahaaah

and all my guys say “sure,”

hey, that’s an ahaaah”

but can it be? Something’s missing

And then the bass starts

and at least it doesn’t matter what I say now

and it can be that I just simply laugh

in the middle of the song (ha ha ha)

No, I’m not ha,

and all I want is just a little bit of fun

and it’s clear that every song won’t become a hit,

but it comes pretty darned close

[Part 2]

And you don’t really know

if I find it good or just plain bad

‘cause you actually like rap

but this is more pop with an embarrassing text

compared to the girls

‘cause they’d rather have songs they can sing along with

just like that Britney sang them,

but that is way too fast for them to become hits ²

so slow down,

you want hits from “No Doubt” ³

gangsta Rap like “Rollout,” ⁴

nice tracks like “Hoedown,” ⁵

but I’m still just Cro, ou

I’m sorry,

but I just want you to know

that I can’t always write hits,

but I come pretty darned close ⁶
