DU YOU

In Deinen Augen steht so vieles was mir sagt In your eyes there’s so much that tells me
Du fühlst genauso wie ich. You feel the same way I do
Du bist das Mädchen das zu mir gehört, You are the girl that belongs to me
ich lebe nur noch für Dich. I only live for you now

Du bist alles, was ich habe auf der Welt, Du bist alles was ich will.
You are everything that I have in this world. You are everything I desire
Du, Du allein kannst mich versteh'n. Du, Du darfst nie mehr von mir gehn.
You, only you can understand me. You may never leave me
Seit wir uns kennen ist mein Leben bunt und schön,
Since we know each other, my life is colourful and beautiful
und es ist schön nur durch Dich. and it is beautiful only because of you
Was auch gescheh'n mag ich bleibe bei Dir, Whatever happens, I stay with you
ich laß Dich niemals im Stich. I will never let you down.

Du bist alles, was ich habe auf der Welt, Du bist alles was ich will.
You are everything I have in this world. You are everything I want.
Du, Du allein kannst mich versteh'n. Du, Du darfst nie mehr von mir gehn.
You, only you can understand me. You, you may never leave me.

Du - ich will Dir etwas sagen was ich noch zu keinem anderen Mädchen –
You – I want to tell you something that I have never said to any other girl -
zu keinem anderen Mädchen gesagt habe. never said to any other girl.
Ich hab' Dich lieb, ja ich hab' Dich lieb – I love you, yes I love you-
Und ich will Dich immer lieb haben And I want to love you for ever
immer, immer nur Dich. always, always only you.

Wo ich auch bin, was ich auch tu,ich hab ein Ziel, und
Wherever I am, whatever I do, I have a goal, and
dieses Ziel bist Du, bist Du, bist Du. that goal is you, is you, is you.

Ich kann nicht sagen was Du für mich bist,
I cannot explain what you are to me
sag daß ich Dich - Dich nie verlier.
tell me that I won’t lose you.
Ohne Dich leben das kann ich nicht mehr,
I can’t live without you anymore
nichts kann mich trennen von Dir.
nothing can separate me from you.
Du bist alles, was ich habe auf der Welt, Du
You are everything I have in this world. You
bist alles was ich will - yeah...
are everything I want – yeah...
Du, Du allein kannst mich versteh'n. Du, Du darfst nie mehr von mir gehn.
You, only you can understand me. You may never leave me.
Du, Du allein kannst mich versteh'n. Du - Du darfst nie mehr von mir gehn.
You, only you can understand me. You may never leave me.

Du .............. You ............

Mario,
du sollst es aber übersetzen !
Der Text ist ganz interessant und wichtig.
mit freundlichem Gruß.

I translated the song Mario put in :

You have to cross seven bridges
----------------------------------------

Sometimes I go my way without looking
Sometimes I wish I had my rocking horse back
Sometimes I am without rest and peace
Sometimes I close all doors behind me
Sometimes I feel cold and sometimes I feel hot
Sometimes I don’t know anymore what I know
Sometimes I am already tired in the morning
And I look for comfort in a song

You have to cross seven bridges
Withstand seven dark years
Seven times you will be the ashes
But also once the brightest shine

Sometimes the clock of life seems to stand still
Sometimes it seems you’re going round in circles
Sometimes you want to go far away
Sometimes you sit still on a bench
Sometimes you reach for the world
Sometimes you think the lucky star falls
Sometimes you take where you would rather give
Sometimes you hate what you actually love

You have to cross seven bridges
Withstand seven dark years
Sometimes you will be the ashes
But also once the brightest shine.
