In meinem Leben [English translation]

In my life I have often been flying

Been falling low and also sometimes I have drowned

I won and I lost

And I’ve died and been reborn

I gave and I took

And we found each other and have come far

To myself I feel so close and like a stranger yet again

It’s something of being lonely

And like nobody knows me

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

Sometimes life is hard and mostly it’s easy for me

I have cried and I have laughed

And finally found what makes me be more beautiful

I have been drinking and smoking

And I have used up all of my strength

And I am always back up on my feet, there is always life

Sun’s always there again

And here you are holding my hand and you are laughing

‘Coz you know me better than I know myself

I am in love with you, my life

I don’t want to imagine it without you

In my life I have been flying often

I have also lied and I have betrayed you and me

I have loved and gotten drunk on it

I’ve flown up into the sky and been sinking so low

I let myself down and then pick myself up again

I live very healthy and I also take drugs

I count the years and I don’t count them

I stand in the dark and I love the light

And here you are holding my hand and you are laughing

‘Coz you know me better than I know myself

I am in love with you, my life

I don’t want to imagine it without you

I love some people and some love me

And those that don’t love me, I don’t miss them

I love my children and I love you

And sometimes I don’t feel anything and then not even myself

I wish for peace and serenity

A heart that is always warm

I am not ready yet, and freedom does good for me

Sometimes I hurt myself, and I feel strong

Even if I don’t stand all that straight up right now

My fear of dying is turning into air

Dissolves slowly ‘coz life is calling me

I am in love with you, my life

I don’t want to imagine it without you

I want to continue with you and I follow you

And you always also take from me

I am in love with this life and

I’ll stay here with you just as long again
