For me it should rain red roses

Versions:
At sixteen I said quietly:
'I do!'
'I want to be big, I want to win,
I'll be happy, I'll never lie!'
 
When I was sixteen I said quietly
'I will!'
'I want everything - or nothing!'
 
For me it should rain red roses
I should encounter all the wonders
The world was going to change
And keep its troubles to itself
 
And later I'd say
'I want to: Understand, see much,
To know, to keep.'
 
And later still I said:
'I wish not to be alone
And yet be free.'
 
I want red roses to rain
I want to see all the wonders
I want happiness to be gentle
It should manage my destiny with love
 
And today I say silently
'I shall: Submit, be content -
I cannot submit,
Can't be content,
Still want to win,
Want all - or nothing!'
 
For me it should rain red roses
I should meet a whole new wonder
Far from the old, unfold anew
Of what awaits, hold most.
 
I will!
I will!
 

Baltic Sea Song

I hate the glassy blue of the sky
The tireless sun that reveals everything
I hate the shimmering heat of the south
The grassless cliffs, which stretch spiritlessly
 
Give me the threatening colours of the north
The dripping silence of the snowless night
Give me the fearful lights of the morning
The rustle of the dunes, the storm that laughs loudly
 
Give me the rattling breath of the cold
The seamless strings of rain at sea
Give me the fog that distorts everything
The deep black nights and clouds like tar
 
Give me my childhood beach once again
With mussels and amber on dry white
Give me the salty wind of my Baltic Sea
The wailing of the seagull that circles hopefully
 
Give me moles with moss-green legs
And waves that sing their endless song
Give me the colours that combine quietly
The breath of childhood, which escapes silently
 

You have me completely in your hands

You have me completely in your hands
From today I surrender
You defeated me
Now please rule me
You have me completely in your hands
 
I ask myself: where was my mind?
Yet I knew, something like that can never last
 
I now unfortunately see without any regret:
You have me completely in your hands
 
I can not explain what forces me
be sure to be close to you
until somewhere a warning voice sounds
and it talks and talks to me:
 
Don't you still know?
The game is clear:
Wake up after [such] a long time!
See the reality!
 
But then you come and in no time I'm
already lost before I [can find] myself
 
You have me completely in your hands
You have me completely in your hands
 

I want to be showered with red roses

Versions: #3
At 16 I said tacitly:
'I want,
want to be important, want to triumph,
want to be happy, never lie!'
 
At 16 I said tacitly:
'I want,
want all or nothing !'
 
I want to be showered with red roses,
I want to meet all marvels
The world should be remodelled,
and keep its sorrows for itself
 
And later, I added:
'I'd like: To understand, see a lot
learn, perpetuate.'
 
And later I still added:
I wish: not to be alone,
however remain free.
 
I want to be showered with red roses,
I want to meet all marvels
Happiness should be gently to me
It should manage my destiny with love.
 
And today I say tacitly:,
I should comply, content myself,
I cannot comply,
cannot content myself,
still want to triumph,
want all - or nothing !'
 
I want to be showered with red roses,
I want to meet brand-new marvels
me away from the old new unfold,
keeping most of what expected
 
I want
I want....

From That Moment On, Things Went Downhill

Versions: #2
I was born in the depths of winter
I sneezed three times, acted tired
My father was angry, he wanted a son
I looked around and I already knew:
From now on, things will go downhill
 
Thereafter I didn't have a lot of things to do
They let me grow up and rest once in a while
But a few years later, they told me offhand:
You've got to learn a trade now!
The trouble began:
From that moment on, things went downhill
 
When I was fifteen, I had an idea:
I wanted to become a stage actress, Mum said 'No way!'
They would have cut me out of their will, but we didn't have any money
So I answered the call into the spotlight:
From that moment on, things went downhill
 
And everybody thought I had a gift
And they gave me roles not even mentioned in the programme
But one day, the star fell ill and that was fine with me
And then someone from the film business discovered me:
From that moment on, things went downhill
 
Sometimes I played the good girl and sometimes I played the vamp
Sometimes beminked and sometimes without a stitch on
America told me they really needed me
So I felt pity for them I reacted to their alert:
From that moment on, things went downhill
 
Now I was famous, I was lucky Hilde
Returned home, elated
I received an award and I was treated well
But after one failure, they frowned upon me:
From that moment on, things went downhill
 
At first, I was sore, then I was shocked
But then some guy heard me sing
I warned him, but he told me I had to
And so this new chagrin came about
 
It wasn't my fault!
Please be patient
 

(I Need A) Change of Scenery

'I need a change of scenery' – that's what the birch tree said
And it took to the road at dusk
'I need a breath of fresh air around my crown'
'I don't want to stand there like a soldier anymore'
'In your grove, looking at the same meadow'
'With the sun to my left in the morning and to my right in the evening'
 
'I need a change of scenery' – that's what the birch tree said
And it took to the road at dusk
A bus missed it by twenty centimetres
And at the airport, it was seriously in danger
Two boarhounds chased it at branch's length
And shortly after midnight it ran into a couple of beech trees
 
'I need a change of scenery' – that's what the birch tree said
And it took to the road at dusk
One of them said: 'You've got no right to be here'
'One of your kind hasn't even got a nest'
It turned yellow out of anger and because it was autumn already
Over time, feelings of despair started seeping into its branches
 
'I need a change of scenery' – that's what the birch tree said
And it took to the road at dusk
The forester's axe hit it at dawn
Right at the gate, while the express train was approaching
And when it had become a dresser, it was still thinking:
'The times back in the birch tree grove were oh so beautiful'
 
'I need a change of scenery' – that's what the birch tree said
And it took to the road at dusk
