Rosen müssen gar nicht sein [English translation]

You often come home very late,

Always have a lot to do,

And when you are finally here,

You hardly speak to me

And hardly listen to me.

I know you love me,

But I want more from you.

If you give me roses,

Then I already know that you think

I will be thrilled by it,

But I think to myself:

[Refrain 1:]

There doesn't need to be roses.

Just simply stroke my hair,

So that I feel you think of me,

And you are still there for me.

Just give me the feeling

That I am important to you,

That the everyday is winning the game

Against our happiness.

[Refrain 2:]

There doesn't need to be roses.

Just take a few seconds of your time

For the worries I have,

For a bit of tenderness!

Take me in your arms,

Don't leave me alone so often!

More there doesn't need to be.

I love roses a lot,

But I love you much more,

Want to share your worries,

Heal your little wounds,

To never lose our love,

And so I say to you:

Refrain 1

Refrain 2
