Ehrlich glücklich English translation
von Tiemo Hauer

I always wanted to be like you.
Such good grades, but why?
I always wanted to be like you.
No fun, but why?
I have achieved what I wanted to achieve
And I showed what I should show.
I have lived and continue to live.
Have fun on the career ladder!


I'm honestly happy
Honestly free
Honestly lonely
And honest about it.
I'm honestly happy
Honestly happy
honest tender,
Honestly anyway.
I'm honestly happy.

I always wanted to be like you.
Maybe you're listening to me right now.
Everyone just goes their own way.
Just as fate is.
Always trying to convince me
Never wanted to bow to the crowd.
Luckily I didn't do it either
Otherwise I would never have made it this far!


I'm honestly happy
Honestly free
Honestly lonely
And honest about it.
I'm honestly happy
Honestly happy
honest tender,
Honestly anyway.
I'm honestly happy.
