Schmetterlinge sind frei [English translation]

Don’t lock up my heart

Your love makes me free

Sometimes it is heavy like lead

Then I want only away from you

Stay after all true to yourself

Don’t live your life through me

Because otherwise our dream falls to pieces

Sadly you do not understand this

Butterflies are free

They stop by only briefly

They drift with the clouds and dance in the wind

Butterflies are free

I say to you quietly, goodbye,

because wings are in my soul

You never gave me a chance,

to go my own way,

to get up on my own,

if I once fail

Why? I am not so weak

I have managed up to this point

Know that I from my own strength

can fly alone

Let me go in peace

True love doesn’t hold tightly

because without freedom it dies and leaves you
