Rosie [English translation]

She was there way before

The vans arrived

She turned around like a child,

A doll behind the stage

It was easy to talk to her

We exchanged a few words

I gave her my pass

So that she could go see the show

She sat next to me

On crates of beer

While I was mixing for the band

On the stage

She stared at them so intently*

Me, I found her so beautiful

After the last song

The drummer left with her

Oh Rosie, everything's white,

Your eyes light me up

Since I had you for a moment

I was so proud

All that's left for me now:

The wish to throw everything away

And start the night over...

...Rosie

I suppose I should have guessed

That she came for the stars,

And keep myself from imagining her

In my arms later

I've been trembling all this time

But tonight, still, I understood

I mustn't tell who I'm alike to,

I must tell who I am

Oh Rosie, everything's white,

Your eyes light me up

Since I had you for a moment

I was so proud

All that's left for me now:

The wish to throw everything away

And start the night over...

Start the night over...

Start the night over...

...Rosie
