Ich liebe das Leben [English translation]

Your case waits ready in the hall

you will leave me all by myself.

We look at each other and feel only

it must be so.

You still stand hesitating in the door

and ask: What will become of you?

No

don't worry about me

you know I love life

and if sometimes I still cry over you

it will pass for sure.

Just what can happen to me?

Believe me I love life.

The carousel will continue to turn

even when we go our own ways.

It could be that often one

takes oneself far too seriously,

despairingly hoping for a fire

where only a glimmer remains.

While such a thing can hurt a lot

one doesn't die immediately from it.

No

don't worry about me

you know I love life

and if sometimes I cry over you

it will pass for sure.

 

Just what can happen to me?

Believe me I love life.

The carousel will continue to turn

even when we go our own ways.

Perhaps I'll like being (single and) free again

Perhaps I'll fall in love again (with someone else)

we'll see

the world is beautiful

how things go is all the same to me. La la la . . .

You know I love life.

La la la la la la . . .

I ask you:

Just what can happen to me?

Believe me I love life.

The carousel will continue to turn

even when we go our own ways

even when we go our own ways.

You know I love life.
