Human, human Where did your life go? And how do you live and forget that you died? Human, human; You were not proud before You did not used to talk so loud Human, human; You animal, just remember that Human, human; There are still songs at night There are still sounds in the mines below Let's get out of the romance Human, human - You will not, and I will never, be free From the weight of our living The load that our lungs have to lift The armour we wear, though we are weary, we fight Human, human But you were a baby too, we did not used to be so proud Human, human I know the world looks wide So wherever you go, over and over, just keep saying: "You win! You win!" Don't destroy me, but go right through me Take my home and my wife Human, human Your generous lungs billow warmth
