Willst du [English translation]

Everybody wants to know how to live a love romantic to the max

No one will help us -- fair play

Thank god at least there's movies and TV

That's where I got my education

Believe me, it's gonna be great, I've already got your backstory

Why you're so full of anger as a teenager

Your dad didn't come see the school play you were in

For me we'll figure something out, what's got me so mad

We've known each other for x years

You don't have to say anything yet

I just wanted to ask you:

Should we risk it, and take the next step?

[Bridge 1]

Baby, you and me should take some drugs

Then red roses will rain down on us

I saw it one time on TV

Baby, will you take some drugs with me?1

[Hook]

(Come on) come on, we'll go

Come on, we'll go together, straight downhill

(Come on) come on, we'll go

Come on, we'll go together, straight downhill

(Come on) come on, we'll go

Come on, we'll go together, straight downhill

(Come on) 'cause a shipwreck is a place

Where a treasure lies sleeping

[Part 2]

Now we're free, chillin' on mighty mountain peaks

Then you have to say: no one gets our pain

We'll start off collecting happy wasted Sundays

For the montage with the hit-filled backing track

Come on, it'll be romantic

When I hold you, so you don't have to puke leaning on the toilet

Then we'll earn a candle set

For the first shared apartment, in a men's room

An autumn scene, because it fits the mood

And I fall to my knees, and out of my jacket I take

A little box-- you know what happens next

[Bridge 1]

[Hook]

[Part 3]

And then we need some epic fights, who's gonna get the lousy H

Audience: smoking babies

They aren't spoiled, they have to eat soup from a can

And they play with heads torn off of doll bodies

You want out, that old cliche, get back to the land

And then I shout something like "You're really asking for it now!

You're not going anywhere with the kids!"

I'll chase you with an axe through a maze

In winter, because I go for the image

Make our life more camera-ready than Til Schweiger

It's got action, drama and comedy

So whaddaya say, mon chéri?

[Bridge 2]

Will you take drugs with me?

Then it'll rain red roses

To steal the scene from the movie

Will you take drugs with me?

[Hook]

[Outro]

Come on, we'll go--

(straight downhill)

Come on, we'll go--

(straight downhill)

Come on, we'll go--

(straight downhill)

Come on, we'll go, come on, we'll go together

straight downhill

1. This is a really free translation to make it rhyme. More literally, it would be:

Will you take drugs with me?

Then it'll rain red roses

I saw it on a soap

Will you take drugs with me?

The advantage of the more literal translation is that it more strongly emphasizes the awful parallel between what he's saying, and a proposal of marriage. That's also why I've translated 'willst du' as 'will you' even though it's more usually translated as 'do you want to.'
