Zu dir – zu mir? [English translation]

fancy that, I'm a man

looking for a woman

despite special offers

I don't know exactly

how it should go, that I want

that she will stay forever

perhaps she won't fit the wallpaper

perhaps I'm not yet ready

I just want love

& for the sun to shine

I don't know how I should say it

perhaps I'm now putting my foot in it

(Refrain)

shall we go to yours or mine

no matter what happens

let's just try it

if it's already warm today

tomorrow it'll be warmer still

& the day after tomorrow

perhaps you'll be forever with me

everytime I've sworn

the next time will be better

but until now I was always

the butterfly catcher

I've had the frame already on the wall

but it didn't fit there

& at the end I thought

I'd rather be alone again

die große Sonne sein

und diesmal hab ich wirkliche Liebe gemeint

(Refrain)

love is so often only a barter transaction

for many only a play with happiness

& everyone has fear of losing heavily in it

who gives love wants so much back

(Refrain)

& the day after tomorrow

perhaps I'll be forever with you
