Sonnenstrahl [English translation]

I'd love to be

A little sunray

A friendly lightning

Gleam of hope at the horizon

A high-spirits-bringer

An envoy of peace and

A joy donator luck consignor

A smile without reason

I’d love to be

A little motley fish

A flapper-swinger, water-splasher

Fulfilled with joy of life

Survival whiz, bliss enjoyer

Living for the jiffy

A planned red herring

Just for you problem

I’d love to be

A big green sturdy tree

A mound a rock into your surge

Warm and secure shelter

A strong shoulder to lean on

Donator of security

The rear cover

Trust for all these times

And then I’d follow you

Lighten all your ways

Banish all these shadow

Blow up these handicaps

And when everything is grey

In the lake of your soul

I’d be the only blur of colour

Your own flicker of hope

But much to my regret

I won’t be this or this

Cause I’m common-or-garden

And happy to have this luck

That you like me in some way

That’s why I try at least

To steal a bit of sunray fish

And tree, just for you
