Schenk Mir Einen Traum (New York Fassung)
Udo Jürgens
Give Me a Dream (New York Version)
Give me a dream
And tell me about happiness without suffering
And of love for all time
Tell of the light that warms the heart
Before they freeze to death
Tell me about it
How good wins in the end
And that fairy tales are immortal
Tell of peace instead of conflict
Of sincerity
Don't tell me
How it really is
Because it makes me sad
Give me a dream
Even if he dies
After that one night
Give me a dream
Even if it is much too big and beautiful
Even if hope blows away in the wind a hundred times
Only those who dream can make the wonders of the world happen
Give me this dream
How love unites us all
How the Sun shines for everyone
Tell me no one should be unimportant
In the shadow of the other
Tell me about it
How joy reigns not betrayal
That no loudmouth has the say
Tell that the lie loses
And the truth reigns
Don't tell me
How it really is
Because it makes me sad
Give me a dream
Even if he dies
After that one night
Give me a dream
Even if it is much too big and beautiful
Even if hope blows away in the wind a hundred times
Only those who dream can make the wonders of the world happen
Don't tell me
How it really is
Because it makes me sad
Give me a dream
Even if he dies
After that one night
Give me a dream
And then reality catches up with him
Maybe we are not alone in our dreams
Tell us our embers are burning
In thousands of souls
Give me a dream
Even if it is much too big and beautiful
Even if hope blows away in the wind a hundred times
Only those who dream can see the wonders of the world
(Only those who dream can see the wonders of the world)
Only those who dream can make the wonders of the world happen
