Sonnenstrahl [English translation]

I'd love to be a small sunbeam

A small flash of light, of light on the horizon

A good-mood-bringer, a messenger of peace and

A speaker of joy, a sender of happiness, a smile without reason

I'd love to be a small colorful fish

A fin-swayser, watter-splasher full of lust for living

A hedonist, a luck-enjoyer, living for the moment

Planned diversion from your problem

I'd love to be a huge, green, strong tree

A mountain, a rock in storm and surge, warm secure shelter

A strong shoulder, giver of comfort

A support, security, trust for all times

I would then follow you, always light your ways

Chase all shadows away, remove all obstacles

And when everything's gray in your soul

I would be the only color blot, dawn of hope just for you

But to my regret I will be none of this

Because I am totally normal and simply lucky

That you find something in me, so at least I try

To steal a bit of the sunbeam, the fish, the tree for you
