I Love Life [German translation]

(When you're young,

when you're young and alive,

a broken yo-yo string

is all you'll ever know

of strife.

But what's the difference

if the life you live loves you

and you love life?)

I love life

and I want to live,

fill my cup with life

and drink all it can give.

I love life

and I love that moon above.

Life ain't life

if it ain't got lots of love.

I love life,

I want to live,

I love life.

I love life,

every night and day.

My heart hears music,

such pretty music

with a melody happy and gay.

I love life.

I love life.

I want love livin'

and I want love givin'

and I just want to live to love.

So I love life

and I want to live,

fill my cup with life

and drink all it'll give.

I love life

and I love that moon above.

Life ain't life

if it ain't got lots of love.

I love life,

I want to live,

I love life.

I love life

and I'm hopin' it loves me.

Here gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme more

of the things that life's worth livin' for,

'cuz I love livin'

and I wanna love givin'

until I'm a hundred-and-four.

'Cuz I love life!
