Hey Hanna Lyrics in English Versengold

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Hey Hanna by Versengold from German to English.
For me, it's actually always been
Always been like that
That everything dances around me while I stand here at the bar
But then you look straight at me
And your glance says, wanna give it a shot
I down my beer and then I hurl myself
Into the crowd
Elbows out into the rhythmic crush
Cursing, I force my way
Through, 'cause I have to tell you something
namely
Hey Hanna, I can't dance
I have no sense of rhythm, it's really not in my blood
Hey Hanna, I can't dance
I just don’t care for rhythm acrobatics at all
Come on, let's mosh instead, Hanna, I'm good at that
I'm too old, honestly, to fool myself
My dance-floor twitching's at best good for laughs
I don't care, I freely admit it
I haven't got a bit of talent in my shoes
I gotta say
namely
Hey Hanna, I can't dance
I have no sense of rhythm, it's really not in my blood
Hey Hanna, I can't dance
I just don’t care for rhythm acrobatics at all
Come on, let's mosh instead, Hanna, I'm good at that
Bridge
To me, Flamenco's a pink bird
And I never liked Tango
I'm too fat for ballet and besides
A tutu just doesn't suit me
Hey Hanna, I can't dance
I'm a clumsy oaf and have no feel for it
Hey Hanna, I can't dance
Before I lay one on the floor, I'd rather lie down
Hey Hanna, I can't dance
I have no sense of rhythm, it's really not in my blood
Hey Hanna, I can't dance
I just don’t care for rhythm acrobatics at all
Come on, let's mosh instead, Hanna, I'm good at that
Come on, let's mosh instead, Hanna, I'm good at that
Hanna, I can't dance
Come on, let's mosh instead, Hanna, I'm good at that
Let's just mosh, Hanna, I'm really good at that

SONG MEANING

Versengold’s "Hey Hanna" is a cheeky love letter to everyone with two left feet. The narrator is perched at the bar, watching the whole world whirl around him, when Hanna’s eyes lock on his. Rather than pretend he can glide across the floor, he fights his way through the crowd just to blurt out the truth: "Hey Hanna, I can’t dance!" What follows is a hilarious confession of rhythmic ineptitude, complete with jokes about flamenco being a pink bird and a tutu that simply would not fit.

Yet beneath the comedy lies a sweet message. Instead of faking fancy footwork, the singer suggests something that actually feels natural to him: pogo dancing, the carefree up-and-down jump you find at rock and punk concerts. "Hey Hanna" celebrates self-acceptance, honesty, and the idea that fun matters more than flawless moves. It invites listeners to laugh at their own shortcomings and enjoy the music in whatever way feels right—even if that means bouncing like a pogo stick rather than waltzing across the parquet.
