1ste Liebe [English translation]

It's good to see you, love, I missed you

I nearly forgot how much I like the way you are

I know you since we were kids, we did everything together

Back then even two weeks of vacation were too much without you

We played in your street every day when we were young

Everytime my mum was searching for me I was with you

We got older and I got to know you even better

I remember how we sat at the small castle square

I was 12 and a rollerskater

Wide pivots under old shoes

I went down at the speed of 50 and I fell

My arm was hurt I couldn't skate for weeks

Through you I get to know a lot of my best friends

We laugh at what we were back then when we look at this today

Because with time the perspective changes as well

But only you remain my first love

It's good that you are back

We haven't seen each other for long

I knew that one day you

Would stand in front of my door again

After finishing school I left for three months

I discovered other things as well, lay in bed somewhere else

Thought for the first time that we would break up

That I would see her again was certain, it was only for the moment

Of course I was unfaithful again and she, she forgave me

I stayed with her, canceled going to Berlin for the civil service

It might all have been set already but I did not want to leave

My sweet girl from the South with the dialect again

And she appreciated it, gave me the most happiest time

Sometimes you feel sorry for only knowing it afterwards

But that's how it goes, you don't appreciate anymore what you have

Until you realize that what you've got, you'll never get again what you like

I like your looks and that you speak so many languages

Like that you feel comfortable in high class society as much as on the street

If it were only about us, love, I would have stayed

Because you remain my first love

It's good that you are back

You haven't been here so long

I knew that one day

You'd come back home to me

I moved flats three times in the west and moved back in with Mom

Then I had two rooms with a terrace together with Anna

Then came a queen from Berlin, d*mn I had to fall in love

Before half a year had passed, she was pregnant from me

My first son was born, there wasn't enough space for the four of us

I would have liked to stay of course I cling to you

That the two of us would ever break up, who could know that

Living in a relationship also means having a deal with compromises

I had to leave and she was a burnt child

But many who left could not understand what I liked in her

Of course there was also a time where we didn't like each other too much

She wanted to control me to feel secure

And yes she drives a BMW, she seems decadent

But she seems different when you really know her

No matter what the future has in stores, it's clear that I represent her

First love, now I remain a citizen of Stuttgart
