Lyric in English:<br /><br />Friedrich Hollaender:<br />If I Could Only Wish Myself Something<br /><br />We weren't asked<br />when we still didn't have faces<br />whether we wanted to live,<br />or better not to.<br /><br />Now I'm walking alone<br />through one big city,<br />and I suddenly don't know<br />if that city likes me.<br /><br />Then I look in the bars<br />through the door and the window glass,<br />and I wait, and I wait<br />for something.<br /><br />If I could only wish myself something,<br />I should be embarassed,<br />what then should I wish to myselve,<br />one bad or one good time?<br /><br />If I could only wish myself something,<br />I would wish I were happy,<br />then as soon as I were happy,<br />I would feel homesick for the sadness.
