We hold together
We put up with each other
We stick together
No one will slow us down
We remain loyal to you
We stand by that
We follow the rules
if we are allowed to rule
And the shark, it has tears
And they run down its face
But the shark lives in the water
so no one sees the tears
We keep up the pace
We keep our word
If one (of us) isn’t keeping up
we stop right away
We keep our eyes open
We hold each other by the arm
Six hearts that burn
The fire keeps you warm
And the shark, it has tears
And they run down its face
But the shark lives in the water
so no one sees the tears
In the depths it is lonely
And so many a tear flows
And that is why the water
in the seas is salty
They can think whatever
they want about us
We keep each other harmless
We will never stop
And the shark…
In the depths it is lonely
And so many a tear flows
And that is why the water
in the seas is salty
And the shark…
Part of the original song:
Und der Haifisch, der hat Zähne
Und die trägt er im Gesicht
Und MacHeath, der hat ein Messer
Doch das Messer sieht man nicht
And my translation:
And the shark, it has teeth
And it wears them in its face
And MacHeath, he has a knife
But no one sees the knife
