Libero
Udo Jürgens
Sweeper
After the game in the locker room
When no one sees you
Do you suddenly feel older
You are exhausted and tired
Outside, newspaper boys call
Your name into the night
Hardly any other football player
Has it ever come this far
Sweeper
It was a great game
It looks so easy
And you only know how hard it is
Libero (Libero)
A victory means a lot
But you know exactly
How quickly you forget these hours
A murmur goes through the stadium
You chase the ball
The attack is rolling
And now nobody can stop you
(Goal)
A cry from many thousands of throats
You lie in each other's arms
You are the hero of the day
As a little boy you got
A ball given
And even then in the schoolyard
Have you controlled every game
Today it has become serious
And it's about a lot of money
Nobody wants to understand anymore
That you too sometimes lack the strength
Sweeper
It was a great game
It looks so easy
And you only know how hard it is
Libero (Libero)
A victory means a lot
But you know exactly
How quickly you forget these hours
A murmur goes through the stadium
You can no longer catch the ball
Here comes the enemy
And he seems to be stronger
A scream tells you you are beaten
You hang your heads
This time you lost
Sweeper
Life is a game
In which everyone fights
And yet not everyone can win
Libero (Libero)
Your game has a meaning
The people who see you
Make you happy for a few hours
