Risiko Lyrics in English by Chima

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Risiko by Chima from German to English.
Ich will nicht länger vermeiden
I don't want to avoid any longer
Was sich nie vermeiden ließ
What could never be avoided
Ich hab' mir was zu beweisen
I've got something to prove to myself
Dieses Bedürfnis sitzt tief
This need runs deep
Es zieht mich ins Unbekannte
It pulls me into the unknown
Nicht zu wissen, was passiert, daher
Not knowing what will happen, so
Heute geh' ich aufs Ganze
Today I'm going all in
Keine, keine Angst mehr vorm Verlieren
No, no more fear of losing
Heute geh' ich Risiko
Today I take a risk
Statt Kontrolle einfach Risiko
Instead of control, just risk
Kein Stock und Hut, halt Risiko
No playing it safe, just risk
Und ich tanz' auf dem Vulkan
And I dance on the volcano
Verdammt, was soll mir passieren?
Damn, what could happen to me?
Ich hab' die Götter mit mir
I've got the gods with me
Ich will mein Leben nicht länger verwalten
I don't want to manage my life any longer
Es macht krank, dieses Prinzip
This principle makes me sick
Will stattdessen lieber gestalten
Instead, I'd rather shape it
Das geht, das geht nur jetzt oder nie
That works, that works only now or never
Flügel bauen, Sterne jagen
Build wings, hunt stars
Wolken kratzen, Brücken schlagen
Reach for the sky, build bridges
Komm, ich nehm's in die Hand
Come, I'll take control
Mit Stahleiern in der Hose
With balls of steel
Und 'nem Löwenherz unter der Brust
And a lion's heart in my chest
Kämpf' ich mich voran
I fight my way forward
Heute geh' ich Risiko
Today I take a risk
Statt Kontrolle einfach Risiko
Instead of control, just risk
Kein Stock und Hut, halt Risiko
No playing it safe, just risk
Und ich tanz' auf dem Vulkan
And I dance on the volcano
Verdammt, was soll mir passieren?
Damn, what could happen to me?
Ich hab' die Götter mit mir
I've got the gods with me
Risiko, Augen zu und durch, Risiko
Risk, close your eyes and go for it, risk
Einmal richtig Risiko
A real risk
Volles, volles, volles Risiko
Full, full, full risk
Risiko
Risk
Heute geh' ich Risiko
Today I take a risk
Statt Kontrolle einfach Risiko
Instead of control, just risk
Kein Stock und Hut, halt Risiko
No playing it safe, just risk
Und ich tanz' auf dem Vulkan
And I dance on the volcano
Verdammt, was soll mir passieren? (-Ssieren, -ssieren, -ssieren)
Damn, what could happen to me? (-happen, -happen, -happen)
Risiko, Augen zu und durch, Risiko
Risk, close your eyes and go for it, risk
Einmal richtig Risiko
A real risk
Volles, volles, volles Risiko
Full, full, full risk
Risiko
Risk

Stahleiern — steel eggs / steel balls

Stahleiern literally translates to "steel eggs," but in this context, it's a colloquial and somewhat vulgar expression meaning "steel balls" or "guts."

It's a vivid and memorable way to express extreme courage and determination. In the song, Chima sings, "Mit Stahleiern in der Hose" (With steel balls in my pants), emphasizing his readiness to take risks and face challenges head-on. This phrase perfectly captures the song's theme of embracing risk and overcoming fear.
