Ich will mich verlieben / I want to fall in love

I used to do a lot of translations - used to be pretty good at it I think. That seems like it is ages ago.

Most of you are pretty bilingual - I know that some are not. Some of you have commented on my you tube music collection and I actually listen to all of these songs every day myself. One that grows on me has beautiful lyrics. It's in German so I translated it for you ... speaks for itself even if it doesn't rime anymore :-)


I'm tired of getting up by myself

to be the first one to see

that I'm still alive

I would so much like to turn up the radio

ravish you

the day can wait

and when you go

I’m not afraid

because I know

that you are real

you should see me

would understand

I know that it works

I know that it works


Oh – I want to fall in love

and it works

Oh – I will fall in love

because I want to


we would be the two of us

double as strong

And the rest of the world

can get lost

We’ll never ask anymore if it’s right

Because everything works out for us

no matter where we are


Oh, I want to fall in love


Hours on the telephone with you

I tell you of myself

you listen to me

We love each other

until nothing goes

What happens outside

who wants to know?

who needs sleep

if you are with me

Glory may damn well get lost

I never missed it

With you I’m real

Because I am reality

I know that it works

I know that it works


Oh – I want to fall in love

and it works

because I want it to work

because I know that it works

and I know that it works

because I want it to work

and I want to


Ich hab früher viel übersetzt -war auch ganz gut darin glaub ich. Heute kommt das kaum noch vor aber ich weiss dass nicht alle von euch beide Sprachen sprechen - deshalb habe ich das Rosenstolz lied übersetzt (reimt sich leider im englischen nicht so recht). Ich höre die you tube Lieder wirklich tätig und dieses Lied kommt mir immer näher.
