Meine Kleine [English translation]
Meine Kleine [English translation]
My little one
1977 I was just about 20 years old.
And it tore my heart apart, my little one
I decided in favour of you
Even as they were shouting "bastard" at you,
Because all I saw was you, my little one
And I was standing
Far away at the edge
On my hand
There was just you, no man, no ring
And when my heart caught fire,
Fear came too.
There was just me and my little one.
The others got together for a drink
I went home to you, my child.
That night so long,
Just you and me, my little one
You got a mind of your own real quick
That Mireille Mathieu haircut rather suited you
Eventually, I couldn't reach you anymore, my little one.
But I stayed at your door
For hours I would listen to you,
How you sang your own songs, my little one
In the night
When you were asleep.
Was I awake
There was just you, no man, no ring
And when my heart caught fire,
Fear came too.
There was just me and my little one.
The others got together for a drink
I went home to you, my child.
That night so long,
Just you and me, my little one
If I have any regrets,
Then it's just that I don't tell you often enough
How proud I am of you, my little one
Apparently, I'm long since spoken for
And you are the love of my life
And what I found in the end was you, my little one
But sometimes at night.
I lie awake
And I wish I could turn back time
There was just you, no man, no ring
And when my heart caught fire,
Fear came too.
There was just me and my little one.
The others got together for a drink
I went home to you, my child.
That night so long,
Just you and me, my little one
There was just you, no man, no ring
