Ich würd' es wieder tun

From time to time I take a look
On my colorful way back
On what was, and it becomes clear to me
I'd do it again, I'd do it again

The roller coaster ride through time
Even everything I regret
That I clung to, and that fell apart
I'd do it again, I'd do it again

I've often burned my mouth
I called what was stupid stupid
And not considering that one makes enemies
I'd do it again, I'd do it again

There was so much that began so promisingly
And then it ran through my fingers like sand
Fantasies that make you cling to like a child
The blind rage that keeps me going
Whatever happened, and no matter how close it was to me
I would do it again and again!

The immodest megalomania
Which sometimes you can't stop
The wrong word, in the completely wrong place
I'd do it again, I'd do it again

The day you came to me
You took away my mind and my senses
And then the end, and I'm alone in the house
I'd do it again, I'd do it again

The best friend who never remained one
Drove me to the edge of the abyss
The wrong choice and yet always
I'd do it again, I'd do it again

I have deliberately destroyed many illusions
And some well-intentioned advice was ignored
But I never hung my coat according to the wind
I loved and yet never imposed myself
Whatever happened, and no matter how close it was to me
I would do it again and again!

I'd do it again
Yes, I would definitely do it again
