Als ich noch ein junger Mann war
When I was a young man
Saß ich locker irgendwann da
I sat there at some point
Auf der Wiese vor'm Hotel Kempinski
On the lawn in front of the Hotel Kempinski
Trommelstöcke in der Tasche
Drumsticks in the bag
In der Hand 'ne Cognacflasche
A bottle of cognac in my hand
Und ein Autogramm von Klaus Kinski
And an autograph from Klaus Kinski
Ich guckte hoch aufs weiße Schloss
I looked up at the white castle
Oder malochen bei Blohm und Voss
Or work with Blohm and Voss
Ne irgendwie, das war doch klar
No, somehow, that was clear
Irgendwann da wohn ich da
At some point I'll live there
In der Präsidentensuite
In the presidential suite
Wo's nicht reinregnet und nicht zieht
Where it doesn't rain and doesn't draught
Und was bestell' ich dann?
And what do I order then?
Dosenbier und Kaviar
Canned beer and caviar
Und Ich mach mein Ding
And I do my thing
Egal was die anderen sagen
No matter what the others say
Ich geh meinen Weg
I'm going my way
Ob gerade ob schräg, das ist egal
Whether straight or diagonal, it doesn't matter
Ich mach mein Ding
I do my thing
Egal was die anderen labern
No matter what others say
Was die Schwachmaten einem so raten
What the weaklings advise you
Das ist egal
That doesn't matter
Ich mach mein Ding
I do my thing
Und jetzt kommst du aus der Provinz
And now you're from the provinces
Und wenn auch jeder sagt du spinnst
And even if everyone says you're crazy
Du wirst es genauso bringen
You will do the same
Machst auf die charmante Art
Do it in a charming way
Mal elastisch, manchmal hart
Sometimes elastic, sometimes hard
Manchmal musst du Glück auch zwingen
Sometimes you have to force luck
Später spricht dann Wilhelm Wieben
Wilhelm Wieben speaks later
Er ist sich immer treu geblieben
He has always remained true to himself
Die Mode kam, die Mode geht
The fashion came, the fashion goes
Man war immer noch der King
You were still the king
du machst dein Ding
you do your thing
Egal was die ander'n sagen
No matter what the others say
Du gehst deinen Weg
You go your way
Ob geradeaus, schräg
Whether straight ahead, diagonally
Das is' doch egal
That doesn't matter
Du machst dein Ding
You do your thing
Egal was die ander'n labern
No matter what the others say
Was die Schwachmaten einem so raten
What the weaklings advise you
Das ist egal
That doesn't matter
Und dann bist du dir immer treu geblieben
And then you always stayed true to yourself
Und Roomservice wird mit U und H geschrieben
And room service is spelled with U and H
Und ich mach mein Ding
And I do my thing
Egal was die ander'n labern
No matter what the others say
Was die Schwachmaten einem so raten
What the weaklings advise you
Das ist egal
That doesn't matter
Ich mach mein Ding
I do my thing
Egal was die ander'n labern
No matter what the others say
Was die Schwachmaten einem so raten
What the weaklings advise you
Das ist egal
That doesn't matter
Ich mach mein Ding
I do my thing
Ich mach mein Ding
I do my thing
Ich mach mein Ding
I do my thing
