Fliegst du mit English translation
von Shirin David

It's my birthday, but where's your call?
Don't give a damn 'bout what else you have to do.
Today is actually a good day, but when I close my eyes,
you're standing in front of me.
I see you in your apartment and know you're not worth a line
with our children's photos behind those of your first.
You would never tell me I make you proud,
you only show me feelings when I let you down, oh.
I see photos of you as a soldier, but for me you're no fighter.
You're the cause of mom's pain and my sister's tears.
You should've stayed even if your honor was stained,
with only one decision you've changed three lives.
Tell me why? I need to know. We had no electricity and where were you?
Tell me your reason, open your mouth.
I know that when I first saw the light
of the world you didn't want me.
Then why do I hope that darkness will lead me to you? yes


I build my paradise without your stones.
You never taught me how to fly but I'm gliding.
Be a part of the journey or let it rest,
but let it be forever, whatever you decide.
Are you flying with me? [x6]


Your smell of Marlboro and Heineken,
the scent works like an addiction when I'm too lonely.
My ex was poison, but his smell was the same.
At least that's what I imagined, so that we both
could finally spend some time.
Since you're not here
I take boys who mirror you.
I didn't know what I was worth
and why I'm in love.
You didn't teach me anything
and never taught me to value myself.
And instead of looking for myself, I'm looking for you
in every man that I meet, mh.
Why are you living without needing me?
Why am I so worthless in your eyes?
Why can't you say you believe in me?
Save your breath! I'm out and live the dream.
I'm building a paradise for mom, Pati, me, yes, we're fine.
You can come as often as you want,
but you're only a visitor.
I hope the father of my children ends your curse.
Don't know him yet, but at least I know
he'll never be like you, yeah.

I build my paradise without your stones.
You never taught me how to fly but I'm gliding.
Be a part of the journey or let it rest,
but let it be forever, whatever you decide.
Are you flying with me? [x6]

I would have needed you, when we sat in front of empty plates.
I would have needed you, back when Cupid hit me for the first time.
I would have needed you, as someone who makes my weaknesses strong.
I would have needed you, oh, despite your bad karma.
I would have needed you, eventhough you don't deserve us at all.
I would have needed you, next to me and not as a fantasy.
I would have needed you, because of you I wish for amnesia.
I would have needed you, to say once that you love me, yes.

I build my paradise without your stones.
You never taught me how to fly but I'm gliding.
Be a part of the journey or let it rest,
but let it be forever, whatever you decide.
Are you flying with me? [x6]
