Das Lied meines Lebens [English translation]

Something in me was sad, something in me felt happiness

He sang the song of my life, he sang the song of my life.

He knew what I was thinking, his song only told about me.

He stood on a stage in a small bar,

A singer like many others, with nothing special.

But he began to sing, and suddenly I felt:

Something in me was sad, something in me felt happiness

He sang the song of my life, he sang the song of my life.

He knew what I was thinking, his song only told about me.

I was confused and helpless, but I didn't go forwards.

He read from my letters, I knew every word.

The things I thought of secretly, he said loudly.

Something in me was sad, something in me felt happiness

He sang the song of my life, he sang the song of my life.

He looked into my soul, his song only told about me.

He sang as if he knew I was desperate,

And he looked past me, as if I weren't there at all.

I surely had a fever, his song was like a poison.

Something in me was sad, something in me felt happiness

He sang the song of my life, I thought I was dying, but I lived

In all of his thoughts, his song only told about me.

Something in me was sad, something in me felt happiness

He sang the song of my life, he sang the song of my life.

He knew what I was thinking, his song only told about me.
