Hard times are dawning
The next winter, it will be long
His cold breath is approaching so fast
Together we stand up to him
You give me courage in this time
You give me courage in this time
You are my anchor in the darkness
You give me courage in this time
There, black clouds are gathering
Beyond the dark sea
A storm has long since been brewing
Together we stop him
You give me courage in this time
You give me courage in this time
And there's no hope far and wide
You give me courage in this time
No matter how deep the hardship
What fate looms
It will continue tomorrow
Whatever comes next
With the new day
Together we can endure
And look the storm in the eye
If no one can keep a clear head
When no one faces up to the hardship and misery
When hardly anyone sees what really matters
Then you bring light into my world
You give me courage in this time
You give me courage in this time
And when the whole world seems lost
You give me courage in this time
You give me courage in this time

Schicksalfate / destiny

Schicksal translates to "fate" or "destiny". It's a profound and evocative word that carries significant weight, suggesting predetermined events or an unavoidable course of life.

In the context of "Du Machst Mir Mut", the word appears in the line "Welches Schicksal droht" (Whatever fate threatens). It highlights the challenges and uncertainties the singers face, emphasizing the idea that even against the greatest odds or an ominous destiny, their bond provides courage and strength to overcome anything.

"Du machst mir Mut" ("You Give Me Courage") is Santiano's ode to facing hard times side by side with someone who gives you strength.

The song opens with hard winters and cold, dark storms rolling in — a stand-in for whatever difficulty life throws at you. Against that, the singer keeps coming back to one anchor: someone who gives them courage, who steadies them in the dark like an anchor in a storm.

The bridge widens the idea past just one relationship — facing what comes together, looking the storm in the eye, holding on to what really matters even when hope feels far away. The closing lines return to the same refrain: even when the whole world feels lost, that person's presence is enough to bring light back into it.

It's a plain, sincere song about resilience through connection — not overcoming hardship alone, but because someone else makes it bearable.
