Das „Mögliche" Lyrics in English by Dota Kehr, Anna Mateur
Gerungen is the past participle of the verb ringen, which means to wrestle, struggle, or contend. It's a strong, evocative word that suggests a physical or intense mental struggle.
In this song, the artist sings, "Ich habe mit Engeln und Teufeln gerungen" (I have wrestled with angels and devils). This powerful imagery immediately grabs attention, implying a deep, epic struggle against both good and evil forces, making it a memorable and intriguing word choice.
Have you ever felt like you can handle the biggest, most dramatic challenges in life, but stumble when it comes to the small, everyday stuff? This song is for you. The singer, Dota Kehr, describes a life of epic struggle and achievement. She says, „Ich habe mit Engeln und Teufeln gerungen“ (I have wrestled with angels and devils) and was „Genährt von der Flamme, geleitet vom Licht“ (Nourished by the flame, guided by the light). It sounds like she's a character in a fantasy novel!
She even claims, „selbst das Unmögliche ist mir gelungen“ (I even succeeded at the impossible). But here's the funny and relatable twist. After all that, she admits, „Aber das Mögliche schaffe ich nicht“ (But I can't manage the possible). It's a fantastic contradiction. She can conquer the impossible, but the ordinary, possible things are just too hard. Maybe it's easier to fight a demon than to do your laundry.
