In meinem Leben [English translation]

In my life I've often flown

I've fallen deep and sometimes I've also drowned

I have won and I've lost

I have died and I was newly born

I have given and I have taken

And we've found each other and we've come so far

I am so close to me and again and again so alien

That is something of being alone

And that nobody knows me

I don't want to be poor and money doesn't make me rich

Sometimes life is hard and most of the times I find it easy

I have cried and I have laughed

And finally found out what makes me more beautiful

I have drunken and I have smoked

And I have completed used up my powers

And I have gotten back on my feet again, it's always life again

It's always sun again

And here you are, you hold my hand and laugh

Because you know me better than I know myself

I am in love with you, my life

I don't want to imagine being without you

In my life I've often flown

I have also already lied and betrayed you and me

I have loved and was drunken from it

I flew up to the sky and sank to the deepest point

I let myself go and then stand up again

I live so healthy and drugs I do take too

I count the years and then I don't

I stand in the darkness and I create the light

And here you are, you hold my hand and laugh

Because you know me better than I know myself

I am in love with you, my life

I don't want to imagine being without you

I love some people and some love me

And those who don't love me, I do not miss

I love my children and I love you

And sometimes I don't feel anything, then I don't even feel me

I wish for peace and serenity

A heart that is always warm

I am not yet ready and freedom feels good to me

I do hurt myself sometimes, I feel strong

Even if right now I am not standing so upright

My fear of dying dissappears into the air

Dissolves slowly because life calls me

I am in love with you, my life

I don't want to imagine being without you

With you I want to go on and I follow you

And you also take something from me

I am in love with this life and I

Stay with you here until then
