Mein Löwe English translation
von Unheilig

I call you every day
Because I wonder how you are
I'd like to visit you more often
But sometimes it's hard for me

You often smile at me
But I wonder where you are
You look into my eyes
But you're not with me

I often tell you about the past
About the good old days
I'm always there for you
But being a child isn't easy

I wish I had my strong lion back
The one that still lives somewhere inside you
The one that held me in its arms when I was afraid
Protected me when I slept


Who caught me when I fell
And explained the big world to me
Today I am there for you
Just as you were there for me

You can be proud of your life
Every day is a gift
But no one prepared us
For what life brings

Everything you were
What you are and still love today
Will simply be lost at some point
Because time takes it away

I often tell you about the past
And explain the world to you today
I'm always there for you
And hold on to time for us

I wish I had my strong lion back
Who still lives somewhere inside you
Who held me in his arms when fear came
Protected me when I slept


Who catches me when I fall
And explains the big world to me
Today I am there for you
Just as you were there for me

Just as you were there for me
I am always there for you

I wish for my strong lion back
Who still lives somewhere inside you
Who held me in his arms when fear came
Protected me when I slept

Who catches me when I fall
And explains the big world to me
Today I am here for you
Just as you were there for me

My lion is still here
I will hold on to him as long as I can
I look back on life with him
Until he goes to heaven
