Es Ist Nicht Immer Leicht Lyrics in English Wise Guys

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
It's not always easy being me
It's not always easy being me
Sometimes it's even damn hard
It's not always easy being me
It's not always easy being me
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
It's not always easy being me
It's not always easy being me
Sometimes I'd rather be Brad Pitt
It's not always easy being me
It's not always easy being me
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
It isn't always easy being me
It isn't always easy being me
Sometimes I'd rather be someone else
It's not always easy being me
It's not always easy being me
It's not always easy being me
It's not always easy being me
It's not always easy being me
It's not always easy being me
Sometimes I'd rather be somebody else
It's not always easy being me
It's not always easy being me
It's not always easy being me
Sometimes it's even damn hard
It's not always easy being me
It's not always easy being me
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.
