Come, I'll tell you the story of Tarik and Jasmin

Maybe she was naive but actually just in love

She is 18 years young, wants to become a teacher, that means

Learning every day but you see the pain daily

Dad left too early, you hear her crying into her pillow

And now she needs someone to say you're not alone

Exactly at this point, Tarik comes into play

Who boasts about the money he earns on the streets

23 years old, he drives a BMW

Always armed because he lives a dangerous life

But women find something in him

And so Jasmin fell in love with his eyes

Sunday morning, Jasmin on her way to prayer

She meets Tarik, the BMW show-off

He comes with a nice line

And she laughed briefly

Then he asks for her number and she became weak

Eyo sometimes

It means this life is over

Your honor for a bill, I live in this time

Eyo sometimes

You want to live without the pain

I see the stars up there, we are born to die

Eyo sometimes

You give everything but get nothing, then your head is f*cked

Don't lose hope

Eyo sometimes, sometimes, sometimes

It goes like with Tarik and Jasmin

they were just in love

Jasmin gets a text from the boy with the seven

Don't you have time and desire, let's go to a shisha bar

On this day she has butterflies in her stomach

"Yes, I have time" because in the end, she wants it too

With the trip to the shisha bar, a relationship begins

She is completely inexperienced and never had a man

Tarik is someone who basically has nothing

Because besides working out, he did nothing in his youth

This boy, he was once in jail for pimping

Jasmin doesn't get her diploma, from good it became poor

School messed up, for this unfaithful pig

His birthday, he gets her virginity

After this night, nothing is as it once was

He has debts and Jasmin unfortunately has no choice

Now he wants Jasmin to sell her soul

And gives her hope with the sentence "we won't give up, no

Eyo sometimes

It means this life is over

Your honor for a bill, I live in this time

Eyo sometimes

You want to live without the pain

I see the stars up there, we are born to die

Eyo sometimes

You give everything but get nothing, then your head is f*cked

Don't lose hope

Eyo sometimes, sometimes, sometimes

It goes like with Tarik and Jasmin

they were just in love

By now, this sh*t has been going on for over a year

Tarik hits Jasmin and feels tough doing it

He often seduces her with weed and cut speed

The johns treat Jasmin like the last dirt

She looks at the ground, kicked out of home

Now she only has her body which she trades for drugs

Today her best guest comes, who bears the name Hakan

She tells him how hard she lives and that she misses her father

At that moment, Tarik comes and beats Jasmin

Hakan grabs Tarik to give him a beating

Hakan knocks him out and says, "That's it!"

Looks Jasmin in the eyes "Come, I'll get you out of here!"

Gets her out and makes it clear that nothing is free

The final stop for Jasmin is the street corner

She was shown today not to trust anyone

Jasmin will probably never get out of the vicious circle

Eyo sometimes

It means this life is over

Your honor for a bill, I live in this time

Eyo sometimes

You want to live without the pain

I see the stars up there, we are born to die

Eyo sometimes

You give everything but get nothing, then your head is f*cked

Don't lose hope

Eyo sometimes, sometimes, sometimes

It goes like with Tarik and Jasmin

they were just in love

Teufelskreis — vicious circle / devil's circle

Teufelskreis literally translates to "devil's circle" but is commonly understood as "vicious circle" or "downward spiral." It's a powerful and evocative compound noun that immediately grabs attention.

In the context of the song, it perfectly encapsulates the tragic and inescapable situation of Jasmin, who finds herself trapped in a cycle of abuse, drugs, and prostitution. The word highlights the grim reality of her predicament and the difficulty of breaking free from such a destructive path, making it a central theme of the narrative.

Farid Bang's "Teufelskreis" tells a really intense and tragic story about Tarik and Jasmin, a young couple caught in a vicious cycle. Jasmin is only 18, dreaming of becoming a teacher, but she's also dealing with the pain of losing her father. She's vulnerable and looking for someone to tell her "du bist doch nicht allein" [you are not alone].

That's where Tarik comes in. He's 23, drives a BMW, and brags about the money he makes on the streets, living a dangerous life. Jasmin, perhaps a bit naive but definitely in love, falls for him. Their story starts innocently enough with a chance meeting and a trip to a shisha bar. But as their relationship progresses, Jasmin's life takes a dark turn. She loses focus on school, and Tarik, who has a criminal past, eventually pushes her into prostitution. The song's chorus, "Eyo manchmal heißt es dieses Leben ist vorbei" [Eyo sometimes this life is over], really drives home the hopelessness they face. It's a powerful and heartbreaking narrative about how quickly things can spiral out of control.
