In meinem Leben English translation
von Nena

In my life
I have often flown
I have fallen deep
And sometimes drowned
I have won
And I have lost
And I have died
And I have been born again
I have given
And I have taken
We have found each other
We have come so far
I am close to each other
And always strangers
There is something about being alone
And that nobody knows me
I don't want to be poor
And money doesn't make me rich
Sometimes life is difficult
And most of the time I find it easy


I have cried
And I have laughed
And finally found out
What makes me more beautiful
I have drunk
And I have smoked
And I have used up all my strength
And when I get back
On my feet
It's always life again
It's always sun again
And here you are
Holding my hand and laughing
Because you know me better than I do
I am in love with you
I can't imagine my life
without you
In my life
I am often flown
I've lied too
And betrayed you and me
I flew up to heaven
And sank to the very bottom
And I let myself hang
And then get up again
I live so healthily
And I take drugs too
I count the years

And I don't count them
I stand in the dark
And I like the light

And here you are
Holding my hand and laughing

Because you know me better than I do
I'm in love with you
I can't imagine my life
without you

I love some people
And some love me
And those who don't love me
I don't miss them
I love my children
And I love you
And sometimes I don't feel anything
Then I don't even feel myself
I wish for peace
And serenity
A heart that is always warm
I'm not ready yet
Freedom is good for me
I hurt myself sometimes
I feel strong

Even when I'm
Not standing so straight right now
My fear of Dying
Turns into thin air
Dissolves slowly
Because life is calling me
And here you are
Holding my hand and laughing
Because you know me better than I do
I'm in love with you
I can't imagine my life
With you I want to continue and I'll follow you
And you always take from me too
I'm in love with this life
And I'll stay here just as long
With you
I'll stay here just as long
With you
