Amigo, ich wollt’ immer ein Adler sein [English translation]

Please don’t go away, I want to

tell you about her.

You’re my friend and

you already know me for so long,

this time it’s not the same

as it was with other girls,

I’m no longer the same one

since she arrived.

I can no longer live,

when she’s not around,

‘cause without her everything

is meaningless.

So far I thought I was strong

and independent,

only now I see how helpless

I am.

My friend,

I always wanted to be an eagle.

I never thought that

I could change my mind.

I was in love,

but it was never a true love,

and now suddenly

I can't stop thinking about her.

Oh, my friend,

I always wanted to be an eagle,

but since I met her

I’m like a dove.

You know how proud I was

to be free,

but now suddenly

I exist only for her.

I always didn’t care much,

I was a player,

but now I know

what I really want.

All of sudden I want to give

and not to take

and each of my paths

has its destination.

My friend,

I always wanted to be an eagle.

I never thought that

I could change my mind.

I was in love,

but it was never a true love,

and now suddenly

I cannot stop thinking about her.

Oh, my friend,

I always wanted to be an eagle,

but since I met her

I’m like a dove.

You know how proud I was

to be free,

but now suddenly

I exist only for her.

My friend,

I always wanted to be an eagle.

I never thought that

I could change my mind.

I was in love,

but it was never a true love…
