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

It should rain red roses for me

All wonders should encounter me

The world should rearrange itself

And keep its worries to itself

At sixteen

At sixteen I silently said

I want

I want to be big

Want to win

Want to be happy

Never lie

At sixteen

At sixteen I silently said

I want

I want everything

Or nothing

It should rain red roses for me

All wonders should encounter me

The world should rearrange itself

And keep its worries to itself

And later

Later, I still said

I would like

To understand

To see a lot

To experience

To keep

And later

And later I still said

I wouldn’t like

To be alone

But still be free

It should rain red roses for me

All wonders should encounter me

Happiness should behave in such a way

It should manage my destiny with love

And today

Today I silently say

I was suppose to

Conform

Make do

Oh, I can’t conform

I can’t make do

I always want to win too

I want everything

Everything or nothing

It should rain red roses for me

New wonders should encounter me

The world should rearrange itself

And that what’s expected

The best kept

Red roses should rain for me

All wonders should encounter me

The world should rearrange itself

And keep its worries to itself

I want
