My Little Sister

How the years go by
If yesterday we were children
Mom and dad fought
For our future
You took care of me
Today I watch over you
Little sister, I adore you
I know you're not happy

Another blow to the face?
This is every week
And as always an excuse
That you win in the end
That he mocks you
But what am I doing here?
Even if I want to help you
You accept it like this

You are my blood
And my goal is to save you
I pray for you

Little sister, he doesn't love you
He has like twenty women
And you see it

He mistreats you
Then you defend him
Clearly it's not good for you
Don't you see that?

(You cry) Every time he hits you
(You cry) It makes me angry and sad
(You cry) How I feel your fear

(You cry) In his hands you could die
(You cry) That man makes you suffer
(You cry) And gave you this bruise

(You cry) When he spits on your face
(You cry) And with bad words
(You cry) He feels superior

That man is an animal
A coward without dignity
For hitting a woman

He is not worthy of your love
Think well, you are to blame
And you don't see

"Ladies, keep your head up, come on...holla back"

My nephews shouldn't
Run to their mommy
In your house there's a monster
And you sleep with him
Go and count the hours
He made you happy
Then count the years
He made you suffer

And I can't stand
Seeing my sister crying
This man is a rat

There's no man who can force you
To be with him, you can walk away
Don't you see that?
I don't know, what I see is fear
You fear that dog
Don't you see that?

(You cry) When he comes home
(You cry) Like a drunk dog
(You cry) And hits you for no reason

(You cry) And the children only see it
(You cry) And they shout "daddy" no
(You cry) Don't hit her again

(You cry) That guy humiliates you
(You cry) And tells you lies
(You cry) And he has no heart

He should rather change
That he comes to hit me
That I put him in his place
