Alles Gute Lyrics in English Faber

Home / Lyrics Translation / Faber / Alles Gute

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Alles Gute by Faber from German to English.

Because you usually don't like yourself

And you dance like a horse

And you just stand off to the side

And you often think about

How you'd like to be, or who

And when you notice

That nobody gets you

And when you think

That if you cry and you beg

Nobody turns around

Chorus 1

When you're down on the ground

You know where you belong

When you're all alone

You know what you were

When you're down on the ground

You know where you belong

When you're all alone

You know you'll be that for a long time yet

All the best

Verse 1

With your back to the wall

You hold your own hand

And walk through the world at night

Write your name in the sand

Chorus 2

When you're down on the ground

You know where you belong

When you're all alone

You know what you were

When you're down on the ground

You know where you belong

When you're all alone

You know you'll be that for a long time yet

All the best

Bridge

You'd rather go out with yourself

You know yourself best

When you touch yourself at night

And you feel your own closeness

Because you know how you like it

The way you do it for yourself

Nobody in the whole world does it for you

Some think it's sad

You rightly say

Bridge

Just look around

Show me someone who's better off than me

Better off than me

Chorus 3

When you're down on the ground

You know where you belong

When you're all alone

You know what you were

When you're down on the ground

You know where you belong

When you're all alone

You know you'll be that for a long time yet

When you're down on the ground

You know where you belong

When you're all alone

You know what you were

When you're down on the ground

You know where you belong

When you're all alone

You know you'll be that for a long time yet

All the best

SONG MEANING

Faber’s "Alles Gute" is a cheeky love letter to the awkward outsider. Over a swaggering groove, the singer narrates the thoughts of someone who never quite likes what they see in the mirror, dances "like a horse," and feels invisible when they cry for help. It sounds bleak at first, yet the song’s wry humor keeps things playful and relatable.

The chorus flips despair into defiance: hitting rock bottom simply shows you where you belong, and being alone lets you remember who you really are. With a sarcastic but caring wish of Alles Gute ("all the best"), Faber invites listeners to celebrate their quirks and build a life on self-reliance rather than outside approval. What might look tragic from the outside becomes a punk-spirited anthem of self-acceptance, independence, and the secret joy of dancing off-beat in your own company.
