He says, She says

This German song, opened a discussion between a German friend of mine and myself. You can listen the song here and I hope you like the music. The words are translated below from him. The pictures are also from him. He told me that on the second and third picture, is the same guy but the pictures are taken in a 3 day time frame. Although the song gives the idea that the men are asked to fight in War, the idea behind is that the men are asked to fight for everything related to them, their home and their family. The song is not asking a woman to do that which opens the discussion - Why only men are the ones that fight? He says men are the the strong ones, the ones that are able to make a decision fast and the decision that will save life or at least will make the smallest damage. He says woman are the ones that think, that cool down and that makes them not able to fight. I say there are women in the army as well. The World would benefit if there were more women in power because will bring calm and logic to the decisions that will be made. At the end we both agree that in general, men are physically strong but women are the ones with sharper mind.
World needs strong men but they must be able to control their strength. A sharp knife that cuts a thin slice of bread is a good knife until it it put in our throat. Same with a strong man. Women are peace and logic. If I have to find a comparison with the knife, woman are like the sword of a Samurai that comes out only when necessary.
Well, here is the song, I'll leave it up to you to decide.






Xavier Naidoo
Alle Männer müssen kämpfen


Alle Männer müssen Kämpfen sagten sie mir
Alle Männer müssen Kämpfen
Das sag ich nur Dir. Viele Menschen werden sterben. Und ich bet ich wär nicht dabei
Viele Männer werden sterben
Und wenn's mich trifft hoff ich Du verzeihst

Keiner weiss wer die Schlacht gewinnt
Pass gut auf Dich auf und auf das ungeborene Kind
Ich weiss noch nicht ob ich Dich wieder seh
Auch weiss ich nicht, ob ich im Kampf besteh

Alle Männer müssen Kämpfen sagten sie mir
Alle Männer müssen Kämpfen
Das sag ich nur Dir. Viele Menschen werden sterben. Und ich bet ich wär nicht dabei
Viele Männer werden sterben
Und wenn's mich trifft hoff ich Du verzeihst

Ich warte Hier bis Du wiederkehrst
Ich Glaube fest,
dass Du Dich dem tod verwehrst
Du wirst dein kind in meinen Armen sehen
Denn Ich glaube fest, dass wir das überstehen

Alle Männer müssen Kämpfen sagten sie mir
Alle Männer müssen Kämpfen
Das sag ich nur Dir. Viele Menschen werden sterben. Und ich bet ich wär nicht dabei
Viele Männer werden sterben
Und wenn's mich trifft hoff ich Du verzeihst

Ich seh Dich an und ich glaub daran
der krieg ist vorbei, ihrgendwann
dann kehre ich wieder heim zu Frau und Kind
Ich fände Euch, wär ich auch Taub und Blind

Alle Männer müssen Kämpfen sagten sie mir
Alle Männer müssen Kämpfen
Das sag ich nur Dir. Viele Menschen werden sterben. Und ich bet ich wär nicht dabei
Viele Männer werden sterben
Und wenn's mich trifft hoff ich Du verzeihst

Viele Männer werden sterben
Ich muss Dich wiedersehen, ich muss dich wiedersehen.

Der Krieg ist vorbei



Xavier Naidoo
All men must fight

(translated by Uwe)
All men must fight they said to me
“All men must fight” that is what I say now to you.
Many humans will die and I do pray that I am not amongst the dead.
Many men will die and if I will die I hope you will forgive.

Nobody knows who wins the battle.
Take care for you and on the unborn child.
I do not know yet whether I see you again
Also I do not know if I can survive the battle.

All men must fight they said to me
“All men must fight” that is what I say now to you.
Many humans will die and I do pray that I am not amongst the dead.
Many men will die and if I will die I hope you will forgive.

(female voice)
I wait here to you return I faith firmly, that you refuse yourself from death.
You will see your child in my arms because I believe firmly that we get over that all.

All men must fight they said to me
“All men must fight” that is what I say now to you.
Many humans will die and I do pray that I am not amongst the dead.
Many men will die and if I will die I hope you will forgive.

I see into your eyes and I believe that the war is past; sometimes you will turn again home to woman and child.
I would find you, even when I would be deaf and blind.

All men must fight they said to me
“All men must fight” that is what I say now to you.
Many humans will die and I do pray that I am not amongst the dead.
Many men will die and if I will die I hope you will forgive.

Many men will die.
I have to see you again. I have to see you again

The war is over
