Für mich soll's rote Rosen regnen [English translation]

At 16 I said tacitly:

"I want,

want to be important, want to triumph,

want to be happy, never lie!"

At 16 I said tacitly:

"I want,

want all or nothing !"

I want to be showered with red roses,

I want to meet all marvels

The world should be remodelled,

and keep its sorrows for itself

And later, I added:

"I'd like: To understand, see a lot

learn, perpetuate."

And later I still added:

I wish: not to be alone,

however remain free.

I want to be showered with red roses,

I want to meet all marvels

Happiness should be gently to me

It should manage my destiny with love.

And today I say tacitly:,

I should comply, content myself,

I cannot comply,

cannot content myself,

still want to triumph,

want all - or nothing !"

I want to be showered with red roses,

I want to meet brand-new marvels

me away from the old new unfold,

keeping most of what expected

I want

I want....
