Mein Leben Lang [English translation]

[Verse 1]

I'll steal the fire for you

Carry it out into cold winds, cold winds1

I'll never desert you

Cause our blood binds us together, unites us

[Pre-chorus]

I would have never believed

I've stolen you from the gods

Since then I've been intoxicated

[Chorus]

Yes, I'm your tailwind

Like a roaring hurricane

Driving you onward

For a lifetime

And I carry your firmament2

I am as strong as a titan

Who fights for you (Wo-oh-oh-oh)

For a lifetime (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

For my entire life

[Verse 2]

I'd sail the seven seas

To banish, to banish every woe

I brave the storm and the danger

Because for you my heart's on fire, heart's on fire

[Pre-chorus]

When the last nail closes the coffin3

I'll be so serene and calm

For I was always there for you

[Chorus]

Yes, I'm your tailwind

Like a roaring hurricane

Driving you onward (Wo-oh-oh-oh)

For a lifetime (Uh-oh-oh-oh)

And I carry your firmament

I am as strong as a titan

Who fights for you (Wo-oh-oh-oh)

For a lifetime (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

For my entire life

[Bridge]

For my entire life

For my entire life

[Chorus]

Yes, I'm your tailwind

Like a roaring hurricane

Driving you onward (Wo-oh-oh-oh)

For a lifetime (Uh-oh-oh-oh)

And I carry your firmament

I am as strong as a titan

Who fights for you (Wo-oh-oh-oh)

For a lifetime (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

For my entire life

1. Allusion to the myth of Prometheus, I believe. In summary, it means defying the gods themselves.2. This time it's an allusion to the titan Atlas, Prometheus' brother.3. This German idiom has the same meaning as the English one, though here it's used rather literally.
