Verbrecher translates to "criminal" or "felon". It's a strong and impactful word that immediately sets a dramatic tone.
In the context of the song, the narrator explicitly states, "Sie ist ein Engel, doch ihr Mann ist Verbrecher" (She is an angel, but her man is a criminal). This word is central to the song's narrative, highlighting the protagonist's self-identification with a life of crime, driven by his desire to provide for his loved one. It's a key element in understanding the internal conflict and the sacrifices he believes he's making.
Kurdo's "G Für Sie" throws us right into a high-stakes moment, a real turning point. Our narrator is sweating and shaking, facing a choice between being a "Millionär oder hinter Gitter" [millionaire or behind bars]. He's on the edge of doing something illegal, thinking, "Scheiß drauf, heute bin ich kriminell" [Screw it, today I'm criminal]. But it's not for himself. He's doing it for someone else, someone he deeply cares about, even a child on the way: "Nur für sie, genau dafür mache ich das" [Only for her, that's exactly why I'm doing this].
This song is all about that intense internal conflict. He knows what he's doing is wrong – "Ich weiß, es ist schlecht, was ich mache" [I know what I'm doing is bad] – but he feels life isn't fair, and he's driven by a powerful, almost desperate love. He calls it "Gangster-Love." He hopes she'll be happy, even if it means he has to be a "Verbrecher" [criminal] in the process. It's a really raw look at the lengths someone might go to for the people they love, questioning if it's worth it in the end, but ultimately deciding, "das war es wirklich wert, ich hoffe, dass sie glücklich wird" [it was really worth it, I hope she becomes happy].
