"Männer" Live 2003 | Hubert Grönemeyer

We don't want to leave the impression Hubert Grönemeyer only croons love songs so here's one more to shake it and complete the trifecta.

Mit Millionen, wir lieben Harold Grönemeyer.




"Männer" - Hubert Grönemeyer (Translations are never more than approximations)

Men take you in their arms
Men give comfort
Men cry secretly
Men need a lot of tenderness and
Men are so vulnerable
Men are just irreplacable in this world

Men buy women
Men are always on the run
Men flirt like crazy
Men lie on the telephone
Men are ready all the time
Men captivate with their money and nonchalance

Men have a hard life, but take it easy
Hard on the outside, soft at the inside
As children, they're already groomed to turn into men
When is a man a man?

When is a man a man?

Men have muscles
Men are so strong
Men can do everything
Men get a heart attack and
Men are lonely fighters
Have to get through every wall, always have to keep going

Men have a hard life, but take it easy
Hard on the outside, soft at the inside
When being a child they already are turned into men
When is a man a man?

Men wage wars
Men are already drunk when they are yet babies
Men smoke pipe
Men are extremly clever
Men build rockets
Men do everything as precisely as they can

When is a man a man?

Men get no children
Men get thin hair
Men are human beings too
Men are a bit strange and
Man are so vulnerable
Men are just irreplacable in this world
