Your case waits ready in the hall
you will leave me all by myself.
We look at each other and feel only
it must be so.
You still stand hesitating in the door
and ask: What will become of you?
No
don't worry about me
you know I love life
and if sometimes I still cry over you
it will pass for sure.
Just what can happen to me?
Believe me I love life.
The carousel will continue to turn
even when we go our own ways.
It could be that often one
takes oneself far too seriously,
despairingly hoping for a fire
where only a glimmer remains.
While such a thing can hurt a lot
one doesn't die immediately from it.
No
don't worry about me
you know I love life
and if sometimes I cry over you
it will pass for sure.
Just what can happen to me?
Believe me I love life.
The carousel will continue to turn
even when we go our own ways.
Perhaps I'll like being (single and) free again
Perhaps I'll fall in love again (with someone else)
we'll see
the world is beautiful
how things go is all the same to me. La la la . . .
You know I love life.
La la la la la la . . .
I ask you:
Just what can happen to me?
Believe me I love life.
The carousel will continue to turn
even when we go our own ways
even when we go our own ways.
You know I love life.
