Lyrics translation to Reinhard Mey - Nein, meine Söhne geb' ich nicht

No, I won't give you my sons

I think I should write to you rather early
And resign today for always
You don't need to spread long lists
To see I've also got two sons
I love them both, that's what I want to tell you
More than my life or the light of my eyes
And they, they won't wear any weapons
No, I won't give you my sons
No, I won't give you my sons
 
Surely not for you their mother
Gave life to them in pains
Not for you and not for cannon food
Not for you I stood various nights
At their small beds desparately
Cooling a little gleaming face
Until we found peace in exhaustion
No, I won't give you my sons
No, I won't give you my sons
 
I taught them to admire life
To value the free creature most
I taught them to pity and forgive
And to love, wherever possible
Now you're not going to spoil them with hate
No goal, no honour and no duty
Is worth to kill of die for
No, I won't give you my sons
No, I won't give you my sons
 
They won't march in row and order
Won't hold on, won't fight to the end
Won't freeze to death on some godless field
While you will be sitting in soft armchairs
To safe my children from all dangers possible
Is my highest duty as a father
And that also means to keep them from you
No, I won't give you my sons
No, I won't give you my sons
 
I will teach them to disobey
To resist and to not bow down
To reattack each given order
And not to kneel in front of supremes
I will teach them to follow their own way
To not stand up to any world court
Or other noble than themselves
No, I won't give you my sons
No, I won't give you my sons
 
And I'd rather flee with them
Than you'd make them your servants
I'd rather go into the woods with them
In poverty and as thieves at night
They've only got this one short life
I write it and tell it to your face
They won't give it away for your madness
No, I won't give you my sons
No, I won't give you my sons
