Ich lebe (unplugged) English translation
von Christina Stürmer

You are the torment
I've always been a masochist
You bring me no luck
I am and remain a pessimist
You taste bittersweet
You suck me dry like a vampire
I'm bewitched
I just can't get away from you anymore

I live
Because you are my breath
I am tired
When you are my pillow
I am thirsty
When you are my water
You are my second self to me
I live


You are the poison
But the antidote works against me
You are the money
I spend you, it's not worth it
You are the intoxication
And I want more alcohol
You are the world
that traps shadows in light

I live
Because you are my breath
I am tired
When you are my pillow
I am thirsty
When you are my water
You are my second self to me
I live

I stand here alone
Thoughtless horizon
You are in love
How wonderful for you! - Why don't you ever say it?

I live
Because you are my breath
I am tired
When you are my pillow
I am thirsty
When you are my water
You are my second self to me


I live
Because you are my breath
I am tired
When you are my pillow
I am thirsty
When you are my water
You are my second self to me

Come, live
Because I am your breath
Be tired
When I am your pillow
Be thirsty
Because I am your water
I am your second self for you

I live
I am tired
I am thirsty
You are my second self to me
