Für Mich Solls Rote Rosen Regnen
Hildegard Knef
Let Red Roses Rain for Me
At sixteen, I said quietly, I want
Want to be great, want to win, want to be happy, never lie
At sixteen, I said quietly, I want
Want everything or nothing
For me, let it rain red roses
I should encounter all miracles
The world should be transformed
And keep their worries to themselves
And later, I said, I would like
Understand, see a lot, experience, preserve
And later, I said, I would like
Not being alone, yet being free
Let it rain red roses for me
I should encounter all miracles
Happiness should behave gently
It shall manage my destiny with love
And today I say quietly, I should
Submit, be content, I cannot submit
Can't be satisfied, still want to win
Want everything or nothing
For me, let it rain red roses
I was to encounter completely new wonders
Far away from the old, unfold anew
Keep the most of what is expected
I want, I want!
