A Part of Me
I got to know your mother when I was still a nobody.
I had nothing, I had nobody, but she was there.
I lived at her place. She took care of me.
But I quickly realized that all of that made no sense.
Without perspectives, what could I offer to her?
Boys like me were for girls only parasites.
I was afraid of commitment. I was a stray.
I hung out around the house all day with mates.
We often argued. The shreds flew.*
First someone screams out loud, then the waves smooth out.
We landed in bed, how else could it be?
That's just how it is, when women forgive a man.
So it continued every day,
Until the day when she called me and cried.
She sounded desperate. Now here's the kicker:
I thought she had cheated on me,
But no, she was pregnant
You are my son. I love you. (I love you)
I will do everything it takes so that you're satisfied.
I will make my mistakes good again. I'll proof it to you.
You are my flesh, my blood. You are a part of me.
You are my son. I love you. (I love you)
I will do everything it takes so that you're satisfied.
I know now everything will be good, you show it to me
You are my flesh, my blood. You are a part of me.
I didn't know how it was supposed to work. I was only 19 years old.
I didn't have both feet on the ground, like I do now.
I myself was still a child, how was I supposed to raise you?
Why should Mama love a useless pothead?
I left, yeah.
I abandoned her.
And it pains me so much, I also left you.
Maybe it was a mistake and damn it, I regret it.
I'm sorry. I can understand, if you're disappointed in me.
I missed your first steps. Please forgive me.
You said your first word. I wasn't there with you.
Your first hair, your first tooth; now it is too late.
I only hoped every day that you were alright.
You are my son. I love you. (I love you)
I will do everything it takes so that you're satisfied.
I will make my mistakes good again. I'll proof it to you.
You are my flesh, my blood. You are a part of me.
You are my son. I love you. (I love you)
I will do everything it takes so that you're satisfied.
I know now everything will be good, you show it to me.
You are my flesh, my blood. You are a part of me.
Now you are six, and look at me. I'm a man now,
Who suddenly turns to gold everything he touches.
And as fate would have it,
I met a guy who knew a guy, who knew a guy,
who had the phone number of your aunt.
I called her. I was so excited.
Fortunately your aunt didn't hang up on me right away.
And I nearly died. I went down on my knees.
When I saw you again, you look like a mini-me.
I am so proud of you. I will never leave again.
I am there for you now. I'll make my mistake go away.
I will do everything it takes so that you're satisfied.
You are my flesh and my blood. My son, I love you.
You are my son. I love you. (I love you)
I will do everything it takes so that you're satisfied.
I will make my mistakes good again. I'll proof it to you.
You are my flesh, my blood. You are a part of me.
You are my son. I love you. (I love you)
I will do everything it takes so that you're satisfied.
I know now everything will be good, you show it to me
You are my flesh, my blood. You are a part of me.

Sobre o tradutor
*die Fetzen sind geflogen - This is an idiomatic metaphor for an argument. I struggled to come up with a satisfactory English equivalent, so I just translated it literally. I think the point comes across well enough.
There are a few other idioms and small liberties that I took with them in this translation. For the most part, I tried to translate it as literally as possible to maintain the original lyrics.
I also changed some of the punctuation from the original posted lyrics, in an attempt to make it more grammatically legible.
