Gezeichnet fürs Leben English translation
von Wolfgang Ambros

A dream
A bad dream
I stand alone
My father is beating me to death
And my mother is crying
And I am in troubles

Stolen
I have stolen something
I know I shouldn't have
I let it happen
I was so embarressed
Still, I have to pay

And he says: Cry me a river
You are marked for the rest of your life
I didn't know what to do instead,
I had to slap you in the face.
Cry me a river
You are marked for the rest of your life
Cry me a river


I leave
Far away
And somewhere in the woods
I lay down in the moss
My blood becomes slowly cold
And your longing grows.

I wanted to live
Just live
But I can't bear it
It can't stay as it is now
My hate is limitless
I will write a letter

And it says:
Cry me a river
You are marked for the rest of your lifes
I didn't know what to do instead
I had to shoot myself.
Cry me a river
You are drawn for your life
Cry me a river
