Lass uns ein Wunder sein deutsche Übersetzung
von Ton Steine Scherben

Let’s be a miracle
I do not want that you belong to me,
or serve me or adore me,
or that you always think of me,
Or that you fasten onto me and hang on me like jewellery
or catch the mice for me (=take care for me),
Make your whole life a gift for me.

Refrain:
Let’s be a miracle
Let’s be a wonderful miracle
Not only you and I on our own alone,
could this not be nice?
Let’s be a miracle
Let’s be a wonderful miracle
Not only you and I on our own alone,
could this not be miraculous?


I want you but not to convert you,
Don’t want to parent you or to indoctrinate you,
Nor that you sleep with nobody else
Nor that you blubber when I am not with you
do not know your friends any more
Nor that you come running when I call you

Refrain:
Let’s be a miracle
Let’s be a wonderful miracle
Not only you and I on our own alone,
could this not be nice?
Let’s be a miracle
Let’s be a wonderful miracle
Not only you and I on our own alone,
could this not be miraculous?

I lean against you,
before we freeze to death,
before we fossilise
or lose the track.
Lean against you,
during day or night.
If you cannot sleep
I remain awake with you.


I will be there,
if you call me,
I will find you,
if you search me.

Refrain:
Let’s be a miracle
Let’s be a wonderful miracle
Not only you and I on our own alone,
could this not be nice?
Let’s be a miracle
Let’s be a wonderful miracle
Not only you and I on our own alone,
could this not be miraculous?
