Facebook Lyrics in English Wise Guys

Home / Lyrics Translation / Wise Guys / Facebook

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Facebook by Wise Guys from German to English.

I have 44 friends, everything is fine

Including my buddy and a neighbor of my mother

And today is one of those wonderful days again

I get a brand-new friend request

I think it's the girl from the supermarket checkout

Of course, I won't let that slip away

It's great to have as many friends as possible

In the big city

I know exactly when Tom feeds his guinea pigs

And which scene of which movie shocks Liese

I know Tine's room on vacation in Tyrol

And I know her little son is not feeling well right now

Melina is currently a bit bored

Olli is desperately looking for his nail file

These are pieces of information and that's the nice thing

That I wouldn't have otherwise

Before I quickly check Facebook in the morning

I have no idea how I'm feeling

Before I quickly check Facebook in the morning

I don't know if the world is still turning

I finally have contact with my brother and nephew

I don't even need to meet them in person

I notice that I get along better with many

Since I don't see them in person anymore

But I am well informed about everything

I know that Susi is protesting online against whaling

Oh, how nice it is to go to a protest

Without getting up from the couch

Before I quickly check Facebook in the morning

I have no idea how I'm feeling

Before I quickly check Facebook in the morning

I don't know if the world is still turning

I also love looking at all the photos

My insurance agent at Ballermann

Drunk, shirtless with a joint in hand

I didn't even recognize him at first

Before I quickly check Facebook in the morning

I have no idea how I'm feeling

Before I quickly check Facebook in the morning

I don't know if the world is still turning

Before I quickly check Facebook in the morning

I have no idea how I'm feeling

Before I quickly check Facebook in the morning

I don't know if the world is still turning

SONG MEANING

How many ‘friends’ are enough? In this cheeky a-cappella tune, the Wise Guys scroll us through a day in the life of a Facebook addict. The narrator proudly counts 44 Freunde, celebrates every new request, and revels in trivia like when Tom feeds his guinea pigs or which movie scene makes Liese cry. Packed with witty snapshots—Melina’s boredom alert, Olli’s missing nail file, a sun-burnt insurance agent partying in Mallorca—the lyrics exaggerate the flood of posts that keep popping up on our screens.

Beneath the humor lies a gentle warning. The singer admits he has no idea how he feels until he checks Facebook, and he gets along with people better now that he never meets them face to face. By turning arm-chair activism and sofa-surfing friendships into punchlines, the Wise Guys question whether social media connects us or simply distracts us. The result is a fun yet thought-provoking commentary on how our timelines can start to define our reality.
