    Post Virginia Jetzt! - Du Musst Dahin, Wo's Wehtut

    Another song from Virginia Jetzt! It's kind of pop-rock, kind of indie, and kind of catchy in its repetitiveness.

    I've marked spots where I had trouble translating with an asterisk (*). If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them. Danke!

    Du musst dahin, wos wehtut,
    You must go there, where it pains you.
    dahin, wo es schmerzt.
    There, where it hurts.
    Und du musst immer denken.
    And you must always think
    * du bist allein und wirst es immer sein.
    you're alone and will be [alone] forever.
    Du musst dahin, wo`s wehtut,
    You must go there, where it pains you.
    da wo man dich hasst.
    There, where people hate you.
    Mach die Augen zu und erinner dich,
    Close your eyes and remember
    du hast es gut gehabt.
    you've had it good.
    Du musst dahin, wo`s wehtut,
    You must go there, where it pains you.
    wo man dich verletzt.
    [There,] where people have injured you.
    Schau mir ins Gesicht,
    Look me in the face.
    es ist kalt da draußen,
    It is cold out here;
    das kennst du nicht.
    you're not familiar with it.
    Du musst dahin, wo`s wehtut,
    You must go there, where it pains you.
    wo du noch nie warst,
    Where you've never been
    und wo die Feinde sind,
    and where [your] enemies are.
    ja du musst leiden mein Kind.
    Yes, you must suffer, my child.

    Du musst dahin, wo`s wehtut,
    You must go there, where it pains you.
    wo alles zerfällt,
    Where everything breaks apart.
    wo die Menschen fallen
    Where people fall
    und wo die Willkür siegt,
    and capriciousness wins
    weil der Glaube lügt.
    because faith lies.
    Du musst dahin, wo`s wehtut,
    You must go there, where it pains you.
    durch Feuer und Eis,
    Through fire and ice.
    du musst am Abgrund stehen
    You must stand on the brink,
    und du musst runtersehen,
    and you must look down,
    einfach runter sehen.
    simply look down.
    Du musst dahin, wo`s wehtut,
    You must go there, where it pains you.
    wo nichts mehr besteht,
    Where nothing exists anymore.
    * wo du dir sicher bist, dass es das Ende
    Where you're sure of yourself
    * vom Ende ist.
    that it's the end of ends.

    Du musst dahin, wo`s wehtut,
    You must go there, where it pains you.
    wo du nur noch schreist,
    Where you only scream
    weil der letzte Rest dieser Welt mit einem Paukenschlag auseinanderfällt
    because the last remnants of this world have fallen apart spectacularly.
    du musst dahin, wo`s wehtut,
    You must go there, where it pains you.
    da wo ich schon bin,
    Here where I am.
    * denn du musst jetzt riskieren
    Because you must now risk
    alles,
    everything,
    * alles zu verlieren.
    to lose everything.

    Only a little piece of background information. The expression "dahin gehen, wo es wehtut" comes from football/soccer. It's something the players or the coach says before a game. It means that everybody has to fight and don't shy away from tacklings to succeed in the match.

    Thanks for the information. That's really interesting. My experience with football is rather limited, so I'd never have known that!
