Tausend Raketen English translation
von Florian Künstler

I would cook for you
No matter what it would be, probably potatoes
I would give you a big hug′
But you're not there

And I'd ask you
If the last few seconds really don't hurt
And I'd ask myself
If you're telling me the truth

I'd give a year of my life for one day with you
I'd walk around the block with you and just talk
If you'd come, I couldn't bear to let you go again
If you'd come, I'd have so many questions beyond words

I would shine like the stars of children's wallpaper, oh-oh
Would move me, with the power of 1000 rockets, oh-oh
I would give everything for you, would move mountains, oh
I would set fire for you, so that you can see me

Say, are you proud, are you proud of me now?
Tell me, are you proud, are you proud of me then?


The clock is ticking in the kitchen
The rain outside, it too will subside
The drops are horizontal
The wind outside, the train at the window

At the bus stop
In the square opposite, there's hardly any traffic
It's dripping from the ceiling
The coffee is cold, I can't see the sky anymore

Oh, what's it like up there?
Do you want to talk about it or do we want to postpone it?
Is it time to forget, if so, how should I do that?
I'll wait instead

I would shine, like the stars of children's wallpaper, oh-oh
Would move me, with the power of 1000 rockets, oh-oh
I would give everything for you, would move mountains, oh
I would set fire for you, so you can see me

Say, are you proud, are you proud of me now?
Now say, are you proud, are you proud of me then?

It's okay if you're happy now, it hurts though
It's okay if you're happy now, it hurts though


I would shine like the stars of children's wallpaper, oh
Would move me, with the power of a thousand rockets, oh
I would give everything for you, would move mountains
I would set fire for you, so that you can see me

Tell me, are you proud, are you proud of me now?
