Ich würd' es wieder tun [English translation]

Every now and then I look

Back on my colourful past

On what has been, and I realize

I'd do it all again, I'd do it all again

This rollercoaster ride through time

Including things I regretted

Things I valued dearly and lost

I'd do it all again, I'd do it all again

I put my foot in it a lot

Called a spade a spade

Never considered I'd make enemies that way

I'd do it all again, I'd do it all again

So many things that began so full of promise

And eventually trickled like sand through my fingers

Fantasies you cling to like a child

Blind rage that makes you carry on

Whatever happened, no matter how hard it hit me

I'd do it all again and again!

Presumptious delusions of grandeur

That sometimes are impossible to avoid

The wrong words at the wrong time

I'd do it all again, I'd do it all again

That day you came to me

And took my mind and my senses away

And the day it was over and I was alone again

I'd do it all again, I'd do it all again

That best friend who didn't remain one

Who brought me to the edge

The wrong choice, and yet

I'd do it all again, I'd do it all again

I destroyed so many illusions deliberately

Ignored many a well-meant advice

But I've never been a turncoat

I loved but never imposed myself on anyone

Whatever happened, no matter how hard it hit me

I'd do it all again and again!

I'd do it all again

Yes, most definitely I'd do it all again and again
