Dann kann es sein, daß ein Mann auch einmal weint

When a man is betrayed by a friend he relies on
He stands there and just asks himself how can this be
When he loves and is lied to by the woman he trusts
He stands there feeling miserable and alone

If he bets all or nothing on his last card
But in the end he loses his game
And realizes that everything he does now leads to nothing
Then it may be that a man also cries
Then it may be that a man also cries

When a man who has been away for a long time receives a small letter
Which a child with many mistakes wrote to him
Who tells of his big worries in the small world
And then it ends come home soon I love you

If he knows that can't be because so much is happening in the world
What a child understands so little about
And I can only tell him that it is not that easy
Then it may be that a man also cries
Then it may be that a man also cries

When a man reaches his goal in his life
Is he free and no one is hunting him anymore
Can he look back on it with pride because it wasn't always easy
And he feels he has dared infinitely much

But he knows he has won and has his life in his hands
The whims of his happiness are tamed
Only when he is no longer ashamed of his tears of joy
Then it may be that a man also cries
Then it may be that a man also cries
Then it can happen that a man also cries
