Vater
Manowar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Und Deine Worte groß
Vater, jetzt verstehe ich erst
Was es bedeuten muss
Du hast den Weg gezeigt
Im Lebens-Labyrinth
Die große, weite Welt
Du warst immer da
Und gabst mir Kraft
Ohne Deine Liebe
Hätte ich's nicht geschafft
Wir haben uns gestritten
Und zusammen gelacht
Ich hatte schon geahnt
Wie recht Du hast
Zu jeder Zeit
Bist Du ein Teil von mir
In Ewigkeit
In jedem Wort von mir
Und was auch ist
Du bist immer da
Du hast Dein Leben für uns gelebt,
Die ganze Zeit
Ich hab's nicht gleich kapiert
Jetzt bin ich bereit
Du wolltest niemals nehmen
Gabst alles mir
Soviel Gutes getan
Soviel Sinn für mein Leben
Zu jeder Zeit
Bist Du ein Teil von mir
In Ewigkeit
In jedem Wort von mir
Und was auch ist
Du bist immer da
Vater, nur noch eins
Ich danke Dir
Jedes Deiner Worte
Ist jetzt ein Teil von mir
The German lyrics of Manowar's song "Vater" speaks about the appreciation and gratitude of a child towards his father. The singer admits that as a child, he did not fully comprehend the importance of his father's words, but now as an adult, he understands their significance. The father had shown him the way through the labyrinth of life and given him the gift of the big, wide world.
The singer is grateful to his father for always being there for him and being his source of strength. He acknowledges that without his father's love and guidance, he would not have been able to make it through. They had their disagreements, but they also shared laughter, and the singer had realized how right his father had been all along.
The song continues to describe how the father had lived his life for his children and given them everything he had without ever asking for anything in return. Now, the singer understands the selflessness of his father's actions and the profound impact they had on his life. He thanks his father for every word he ever spoke, which became a part of who he is as a person, and promises that his father will always be a part of him.

wat moet ik doen met dit liedje over water
mijn begrip water =
ik ben verliefd op water
ja! ik ben verliefd op water omdat water
de meest geheimzinnige stof is
die in het heelal voorkomt
= iets wat totaal onderschat wordt
in het hier&nu laat water u
zoveel oorlogen fabriceren dat het een lieve lust is
= u hebt uzelf totaal aan water ondergeschikt gemaakt
= een lollige conclusie
= uw gevangenis = water

Hail to all Fathers, in Germany and all around the world.
Remember: We should honor our fathers and mothers every day of the year.
