Are you even allowed to give women compliments anymore?

Can you? Can you?

Or laugh at jokes that aren't politically correct?

Is that allowed, is it?

Can you talk faster than your brain allows?

Can you? Can you?

Or say things you don't believe yourself?

Is that allowed, is it?

'So what are we still allowed to do these days?'

At night you lie awake and ask yourself that question

One you hardly dare to ask anymore, yet

Your grandma always said

You're allowed to do anything, you don't have to do a thing

You can do lots, but what do we actually want?

Nobody's gotta be a pig, don't think just of yourself

If that's the case, then I say

'You're allowed to do anything'

Can you just jet off to the South Seas?

Can you? Can you?

Eat meat, tuna, seals and dolphins

Is that allowed, is it?

Are you allowed to think of someone else while kissing?

Can you? Can you?

Or sing something that doesn't rhyme at all?

Can you, can you?

You're allowed to do anything, you don't have to do a thing

You can do lots, but what do we actually want?

Nobody's gotta be a pig, don't think just of yourself

If that's the case, then I say

'You're allowed to do anything'

Some think the world's conspiring against them

Some claim the truth belongs only to them

Some say what's on their mind, then say afterward

That nowadays you're not allowed to say anything

You're allowed to do anything, you don't have to do a thing

You can do lots, but what do we actually want?

Nobody's gotta be a pig, don't think just of yourself

If that's the case, then I say

'You're allowed to do anything'

You're allowed to do anything

SONG MEANING

“Dürfen darf man alles” playfully plunges us into the modern jungle of What’s still okay? The German pop group Die Prinzen reel off a whirlwind of awkward questions: Can you still give compliments, crack an un-PC joke, or dream of jetting to the South Seas without guilt? Their fast-paced list mirrors the everyday confusion we feel when social rules keep shifting, and every action seems up for debate.

The chorus delivers Grandma’s simple yet wise verdict: we are free to do anything, we are forced to do nothing, and we are capable of plenty — so the real issue is what we want to do. True freedom comes with self-awareness and empathy: “Keiner muss ein Schwein sein, denk nicht an dich allein” (No one has to be a pig, don’t think only of yourself). In other words, go ahead and live boldly, but keep a kind heart and a clear conscience. The song’s upbeat humor turns a serious theme into an energetic reminder that personal liberty works best when balanced with responsibility to others.
