Born under a bad sign
Been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
You know, I wouldn't have no luck at all
Hard luck and trouble
Been my only friend
I've been on my own
Ever since I was ten
Born under a bad sign
Been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
You know, I wouldn't have no luck at all
I can't read
I didn't know how to write
My whole life has been
One big fight
Born under a bad sign
I've been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
I say, I wouldn't have no luck at all
That ain't no lie
Aw!
You know, if it wasn't for bad luck
I wouldn't have no kinda luck
If it wasn't for real bad luck
I wouldn't have no luck at all
You know, wine and women
Is all I crave
A big legged woman gonna carry me
To my grave
Born under a bad sign
I've been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
I tell ya, I wouldn't have no luck at all
Yeah, I'm a bad luck boy
Been havin' bad luck all of my days, yes

lyrics Google-translation:

Dreams sometimes never want to go away.
Pure fantasy
Which, unfortunately, somehow,
numbs everything else
and in the end, nothing remains.

Like a star in the deepest night,
You've managed, with strange power,
That I lose myself
in you.

You come like a white glow.
Stride by and smile softly into the world.
You will always be.
Like the light, the air, a life I seek.
And you take in everything you touch with your wonderful gaze.
You only leave me behind.
You only leave me behind.

I run after you,
but your trail
Blows away, and wherever I am,
Only a breath of you remains.
I freeze and search for you so much.

Why doesn't the gentle light warm me?
That your eyes deny no one else.
As if they were suns.
Just not for me.

You come like a white glow
You walk by and smile softly at the world
You will always be
Like the light, the air, a life I seek
And you take in everything you touch with your wonderful gaze
You leave only me behind
You leave only me behind

Un avenir radieux

I had the very good fortune to connect with Andy H aka “Noobly” a few months ago over music that we mutually admired and we agreed to find a future opportunity to collaborate. This is the result. Noobly’s beautifully rich track, propelled by his soaring guitar work, felt like a kind of call to prayer to my ear. I tried to echo this somewhat in singing the bridge. Lyrically, just for kicks I used the Socratic Method to construct the verses (persuasion through Q&A) so that this song’s meaning becomes self-evident and hopefully more of a personal experience for each listener. Thanks for checking it out!

Prideful Pride

Do you remember the day when pride took you for its own
When a thief stole something precious in you

Do you remember the day when pride took you for its own
When a thief stole something precious in you
Did it happen when all of your friends cut you out
Was your heart set on winning something, but you lost instead
And when you were maimed did the anger in you surge
Can you mark the moment when you became someone else
Is your truth under layers of scar and combat
Are you the new thief, looting joy from everywhere

Prideful pride keeps piling on, on, on
Building your walls, can’t go wrong, wrong, wrong
Finding it hard to get along, along, along
Your pride is killing you, long before you’re gone, gone, gone

And in the end you’ll be left with nothing
A bright light that’s gone too dim
I have been in a prison of my own before, just like you
Until I let the facade fall
And was set free, free

Are things more difficult now that you are going it alone
And do you leave enough room for both your sadness and your anger
Does that wall keep scary things in, and the invaders out
Are you winning this imaginary war you think you’re fighting

Prideful pride keeps piling on, on, on
Building your walls, ’can’t go wrong, wrong, wrong
Finding it hard to get along, along, along
Your pride is killing you, long before you’re gone, gone, gone

Prideful Pride

no, I’m not an AI enthusiast, but I use AI as a singer I've been looking for all my life. I'm a guitarist and, in my spare time, a passionate songwriter and producer from hamburg, germany.
this page is a place to share some german lyrics written by me over the past few decades and sung by virtual vocalists from  suno 4.0 and, more recently, suno 4.5+. these are based on my compositions, pre-recorded backing tracks and 'prompts' to help the machine get half way close to my imagination.
thank you for listening, and for your indulgence with regard to the literal translations, which prove that there is a fine line between translation and interpretation...
