Für Mich Solls Rote Rosen Regnen

At sixteen, quietly I said, I want,
Want to be great, want to win, want to be happy, never lie,
At sixteen, quietly I said, I want,
Want everything, or nothing.

Let red roses rain for me,
I should encounter all wonders.
The world should transform itself,
And keep its worries to itself.

And later, I said I want to,
Understand, see much, experience, preserve,
And later, I said I want to,
Not be alone, yet be free.

Let red roses rain for me,
I should encounter all wonders.
Happiness should behave gently,
It should manage my destiny with love.

And today quietly I say, I should,
Conform, be content, I can't conform,
Can't be content, still want to win,
Want everything, or nothing.

Let red roses rain for me,
I should encounter entirely new wonders.
Unfold far from the old,
Hold onto most of what is expected.
I want..., I want...!
