You know, that's how I'd like to live
To savour the crimson sunrise
To live in order to simply love
Everyone who lives near you.
You know, that's how I'd like to live
To wake up with you at dawn
To take up and make coffee
While everyone in the world is still sleeping.
You know, that's how I'd like to live
Like no-one would write in a newspaper
To take up and give everything away
To live for the children to remember.
You know, that's how I'd like to live
At the moment when it presses down on you
To take up and announce to everyone:
"I'll be back, even if I'm finished off."
You know, that's how I'd like to live
At the moment that is fateful
To forget all that is bad, to forgive everyone
Only forgiveness - is salvation, I know.
You know, that's how a cherry
Sleeping in a winter garden would like to live
In order to blossom in spring
Into a tree for a new life.
