Ich geh' meinen Weg English translation
von Kerstin Ott

I've always liked to just go ahead
Simply by gut feeling
And sometimes take the complicated route
Sometimes I see afterward, and mostly too late
That there are also shortcuts

Some shake their heads at me
But no matter who doesn't want to understand
I know

I go my own way
And I won't stop
Even if I fail
And run in the wrong direction
I go my own way
Not always straight ahead
But when I look back
It was exactly the one I needed


In my overconfidence, I've already
Sawed off my own branch
And only realized when it goes steeply downward
It's not always equally fun
Not everything leads to the goal
But that's probably part of my style

Sometimes I shake my own head
And even if I can't understand right away
I still know

I go my own way
And I won't stop
Even if I fail
And run in the wrong direction
I go my own way
Not always straight ahead
But when I look back
It was exactly the one I needed

If you look at me and wonder
What I'm doing
Then I hope you understand when I tell you


I go my own way
And I won't stop
Even if I fail
And run in the wrong direction
I go my own way
Not always straight ahead
But when I look back
It was exactly the one I needed
