Erfolg ist kein Glück English translation
von Kontra K

Where they fail, you have to attack, shift into a higher gear
And even if the rest then give up, you have to bite hard
Keep at it, tense up and persevere
Don't confuse luck with skill, but never doubt your ability
Never enough, but never too big a goal
Turn the air in your lungs into petrol for the machine
Turn the envy of so many into oil for the gearbox
New day, new luck, new rules, new players
To fly high is to fall low
But without great sacrifices there are no great victories
We don't hear no, no can't, no way is too far
For only with blood, sweat and tears you pay for infinity
And there's no other way I know
And even if you do, once you appreciate the value, you'll pay the real price too
You say you can't, then you won't - simple as that
Talent is just practice and practice makes perfect


Success is not luck
But only the result of blood, sweat and tears
Life pays back everything
It all depends on what you are
Shadow or light
Success is not luck
But only the result of blood, sweat and tears
Life pays you back for everything
It all depends on what you are
Shadow or light

New try, new luck, it's too late for anything yet
For you only reap as much as you give
And when your flame goes out, you were just a little light
Or a fire as high as houses that burns even in a strong wind
You must want it like your lungs want the air to breathe
For wings only grow if you have the courage to jump
If I fall, I stay down, I stand up harder and fly
Only those who are afraid of falling must spend a lifetime crawling
Never get down on your knees, always look towards the sun
Save the sight for when there's more lightning and thunder
Even if you lose once, you must come back better than you left
The will turns the flesh on your bones into concrete
Nothing is free, you have to walk every inch yourself
For nothing will come of itself
Motivated, tunnel vision to the goal


Success is not luck
But only the result of blood, sweat and tears
Life pays back everything
It all depends on what you are
Shadow or light
Success is not luck
But only the result of blood, sweat and tears
Life pays you back for everything
It all depends on what you are
Shadow or light

No more time to wait, let the others sleep for me
They're always dreaming of success, but stick it out till it's there
Talent is hard work, perfection takes years
If they shout I've got it easy, then I'm afraid you have no idea
We come from deep in the dark against expectation
Hate and envy, blood and sweat only gives life more experience
Perseverance is the key to glory
There is much I lack, but I have enough of that

Success is not luck
But only the result of blood, sweat and tears
Life pays back everything
It all depends on what you are
Shadow or light
Success is not luck
But only the result of blood, sweat and tears
Life pays you back for everything
It all depends on what you are
Shadow or light
