What If
[VERSE 1]
If it’s your time to go, tell me who will weep for you?
Who stops by your grave, and who shits on you?
Who will say that you deserved death?
And who, that he loved you to death? ¹
When you’re young and your dreams come to an end ²
And hope and aspiration become your friends
If life was never really fair
And your true love wasn’t worth the fighting.
They will say that you’re not worth anything
And that, so long until your heart breaks
If none of your friends are there for you
You will already notice if your heart is made of glass
If your parents weep because they don’t understand you
You have a very good reason to be ashamed.
You can’t understand this, you haven’t seen it
When death calls us, it’s called goodbye
[Chorus]
If the ifs wouldn’t be, tell me where I would be
Would I be like her, or would I be like him?
If the ifs wouldn’t be, tell me what would then be
Would it be as now, or would I know more?
If the ifs wouldn’t be, tell me where I would be
Would I be like her, or would I be like him?
If the ifs wouldn’t be, tell me what would then be
Would it be as now, or would I know more?
[Verse 2]
If you open your eyes, you can see their lies
You go to bed to survive the day
‘Cause people hate this world
If a person doesn’t find an answer to the question,
“What do people do in this world?”
If you believe that the devil wagers for your life ³
If you cry, but no one sees your tears
‘Cause this world shows no regard
They’ll notice if your laughter doesn’t sound happy anymore
If you’re full of doubts every day
And swim through the same shit every day
They will say that you don’t fit into the picture
You will believe them, until you take a picture yourself
You stay strong, and let on you don’t notice ⁴
‘Cause that little boy needs to become a man now
You want to be tough, because this life is hard
But think about it, only death is for free
[Chorus]
If the ifs wouldn’t be, tell me where I would be
Would I be like her, or would I be like him?
If the ifs wouldn’t be, tell me what would then be
Would it be as now, or would I know more?
If the ifs wouldn’t be, tell me where I would be
Would I be like her, or would I be like him?
If the ifs wouldn’t be, tell me what would then be
Would it be as now, or would I know more?

Russia is waging a disgraceful war on Ukraine. Stai cu Ucraina!
Despre traducător
¹ dass er dich über alles geliebt hat: can also be translated “that he adored you,” or “that he loved you above everything.”
² deine Träume sterben = your dreams die. Die (verb) = to come to an end: definition 2 in the thesaurus. http://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/die?show=1&t=1329486101
³ spielt = wager = gamble
⁴ und lässt dir nichts anmerken: “don’t let on anything” was the translation I found online, but that phrase is incomplete. When I ran “don’t let on anything” through Google, I found a lot of translations from German to English. When I ran “Let on you don’t know anything,” I found real dialog!
“Let on” means “to pretend.” “Let on you don’t know anything” makes more sense and is used in English. The following examples and websites support this:
A. “Let on (to someone) (about someone or something): to reveal knowledge about someone or something to someone.” Example: “Please don't let on to anyone about what happened last night. I won't let on to anyone.”
---------------------------------------------------
B. “Let on something: To pretend something.” Examples: “She let on that she was a college graduate. He looked quite tired, but that wasn't how he let on.”
