Original Lyrics
Translation in German
I watched you change
Ich sah zu, wie du dich verwandeltest
Into a fly
In eine Fliege
I looked away
Ich schaute weg
You were on fire
Du standest in Flammen
And I watched a change in you
Und ich sah eine Verwandlung in dir
It′s like you never had wings
It′s like you never had wings
Now you feel so alive
Jetzt fühlst du dich so lebendig
I've watched you change
Ich sah zu, wie du dich verwandeltest
I took you home
Ich nahm dich mit nach Hause
Set you on the glass
Setzte dich auf das Glas
I pulled off your wings
Ich zog deine Flügel ab
Then I laughed
Dann lachte ich
And I watched a change in you
Und ich sah eine Verwandlung in dir
It′s like you never had wings
It′s like you never had wings
Now you feel so alive
Jetzt fühlst du dich so lebendig
I've watched you change
Ich sah zu, wie du dich verwandeltest
It's like you never had wings
Es ist, als hättest du nie Flügel gehabt
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
I look at the cross
Ich schaue zum Kreuz
Then I look away
Dann schaue ich weg
Give you the gun
Gib dir die Waffe
Blow me away
Knall mich ab
And I watched a change in you
Und ich sah eine Verwandlung in dir
It′s like you never had wings
It′s like you never had wings
Now you feel so alive
Jetzt fühlst du dich so lebendig
I′ve watched you change
I′ve watched you change
Now you feel alive
Jetzt fühlst du dich lebendig
You feel alive
Du fühlst dich lebendig
You feel alive
Du fühlst dich lebendig
I've watched you changed
Ich sah zu, wie du dich verwandeltest
It′s like you never had wings
It′s like you never had wings
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
You've changed
Du hast dich verwandelt
You′ve changed
You′ve changed
You've changed
Du hast dich verwandelt
Into a fly
In eine Fliege
