Symphonie [English translation]

Everywhere I've been something has begun

Everything I've ever seen gave me a sound

Every place sends a tone, every moment a harmony

But there have been some rough edges for a long time1, the great final chord is missing

For my life's symphony

[Refrain:]

That's my symphony

But I'm not writing it alone

Because in every harmony

There's a sound of you

I've never taken a break, kept going most of the time

I wrote my own symphony in major and minor

Often it lay in dark fog, often far too bright in the light

And yet I have lived there, cried there, and laughed a lot there

With my head held high

[Refrain:]

That's my symphony

But I'm not writing it alone

Because in every harmony

There's a sound of you

That's my symphony

And you are always in it

Because in every melody

You put in your tone

Sometimes it went faster, sometimes it fell to pieces

Just as life did

Even deception had to be

Like a thunderbolt

[Refrain:]

That's my symphony

But I'm not writing it alone

Because in every harmony

There's a sound of you

That's my symphony

And you are always in it

Because in every melody

You put in your tone

And it will be our symphony

And it will be our symphony

And it will be our symphony

And it will be our symphony
