Für dich [English translation]

It's just like you said

You notice it when you're grown up

And that's how it is

I thank you for what you did

How many parents give up?

You made it through

Now I understand your behaviour

in the midst of these forces, I was almost unharmed1

How can you stand it

without running amok and freaking out?

I underestimated you

Parents as well as angels, angels as well as parents,

who else holds on in this world for you?

For you, for you..(2x)

You never stopped believing in love

You created it

Jumping from burning ships

to fight for your life

How did you do it?

Even though I often refused

to show respect

I show it to you now

Parents as well as angels, angels as well as parents,

who else holds on in this world for you?

For you, for you..(4x)
