Der Boxer [English translation]
Der Boxer [English translation]
So this is my story
As so many stories go
Of promises and dreams
As easily broken
As promised
And gone with the wind
Yes, this is what happiness is
To be able to forget just for a moment
All the things that lie behind
Hmmmmmmmm
And so I ran away from home
No good-byes, no money
All I carried with me was my hope
In the morning light
The world was my oyster
Yes, this is what happiness is
To feel for once
No way is
Leading back
To be free for once
For just a moment
Leilolei, leiloleileileilei
Leilolei, leiloleileileilei
Lalalalalei
In the city where the grey skies
Are filled with silent tears
Strangers among strangers
But there is a face
Showing me a smile
Yes, this is what happiness is
And not the little kind
To be this alone
For just a moment
Leilaleileilei
At the crossing there's a traffic light
Its lights are glowing red
And I'm at rest
At home the almond tree
Blossoms in pink
A child's dream
And I'm walking
In the squared circle, there's a boxer
And he dreams of winning
And so he's swinging his fists
But he knows very well
In the end he can't help losing
What flowers does the wind carry?
Promises and dreams
Only the boxer stays in the ring
Leilolei, leiloleileileilei
Leilolei, leiloleileileilei
