Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Es Ist Nicht Immer Leicht by Wise Guys from German to English.

I'd like to be much taller

I'd like to have more money

I'd like to travel more

Preferably all around the world

I'd like to have blue eyes

And a bit more composure

I'd like to save people's lives

I'd like to have more time

It's not always easy being me

Sometimes it's even damn hard

It's not always easy being me

Sometimes I'd rather be somebody else

I'd like to have blond hair

I'd like to be super fit

I'd like to be much prettier

I'd like to be Brad Pitt

Then I'd have cash without end

A giant house on the beach

On a gorgeous piece of land

And pricey paintings on the wall

Then I'd be lying there at seven in the evening

Still in the sun by the pool

And everyone would love me

I'd just be damn cool

I'd have twenty-five servants

And a huge bed

And Angelina would be lying in it

That'd be kind of nice!

It's not always easy being me

Sometimes I'd rather be Brad Pitt

It's not always easy being me

But for Brad life is really a hit

But loads of paparazzi hit on Angelina

And for sure she's the one who wears the pants at home

Poor Brad has to obey while Angelina steers

Has to keep adopting kids

I'm sure he often thinks, too

It isn't always easy being me, no

It isn't always easy being me, it's not

It isn't always easy being me, no way

Sometimes it's almost like a nightmare

It isn't always easy being me

Sometimes I'd rather be someone else

It's not always easy being me

Sometimes I'd rather be somebody else

It's not always easy being me

Sometimes it's even damn hard

It's not always easy being me

Sometimes I'd rather be somebody else

It's not always easy being me

SONG MEANING

Ever catch yourself day-dreaming about being taller, richer or even Hollywood-handsome? In “Es Ist Nicht Immer Leicht,” the a-cappella jokers Wise Guys turn that universal itch into a playful sing-along. Line by line, the narrator builds an over-the-top wish list: blue eyes, blonde hair, endless cash, a beach mansion and, why not, Brad Pitt’s superstar life complete with Angelina by the pool. Each fantasy is followed by the catchy refrain Es ist nicht immer leicht, ich zu sein (“It isn’t always easy being me”), transforming envy into a humorous anthem you will hum all day.

Behind the laughs lies a cheeky reminder: even the people we idolise have headaches of their own. Paparazzi haunt Brad, Angelina “wears the trousers,” and adoption papers pile up—hardly the perfect life imagined. The song invites listeners to smile at their own insecurities, realise that nobody’s world is flawless and, ultimately, find comfort in being themselves, quirks and all.
