Michelle - Ich schicke dir jetzt einen Engel

Hello to all

Another one that seemed really tough to me. I stand ready for corrections, hopefully not too many. Beautiful song, beautiful singer, beautiful language, although I must say for some reason I think the women singers make the language sound nicer.
Here is a link if you want to listen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hn6YBviJOf0


Michelle - Ich schicke dir jetzt einen Engel


du siehst ziemlich traurig aus
hast lang nicht mehr gelacht
red, wenn dir nach reden ist
sag mir was dich traurig macht
ist bei dir denn ganz das licht aus
und findest du den schalter nicht
ich glaub da kommst du nie raus
ok, jetzt übernehme ich

You look out quite sadly
Have not laughed for a long time
Talk, if you want to talk
Tell me what makes you sad
Is it because you’re completely out of the light
and you can’t see the switch
I think that you never come out
ok, now I’ll take over


Ref:
ich schicke dir jetzt einen engel
und mit dem hol ich dich da raus
denn mit so himmlischen kräften
sieht die welt gleich anders aus
ich sprech für dich ein vater unser
denn das soll helfen in der not
und ich öffne dir die augen
du hast soviel, wofür es sich zu leben lohnt

I send you an angel now
and with that I’ll get you out of there
For with such divine strength
the world looks at once different
I am speaking for you Our Father/The Lord's Prayer
because that should help in the distress
and I open your eyes
You have so much, for which it is worth living


Komm, verliern tut jeder mal
steck den kopf nicht in den sand
da hat man einfach keine wahl
und rennt gegen die wand
so hat jeder seinen eignen weg
da kann man nichts dran tun
willst du im frust jetzt überwintern
und dich im selbstmitleid ausruhn

Come, everybody loses one time or another/sometimes
Don’t stick your head in the sand
Because you have no choice
Each has his own path
and runs against the wall
you can't do anything against it
Do you want to hibernate in frustration now
and rest in self pity

3x REF.

ich glaub da kommst du nie raus
I think that you never come out

ich sprech für dich ein vater unser
I am speaking for you (to) our Father*
Vater Unser is the German title for the prayer starting "Our Father who art in heaven ..." - does it have a title in English?

Komm, verliern tut jeder mal
Come don’t lose any time
-> Come, everybody looses one time or another/sometimes

da kann man nichts dran tun
because you cannot be late
-> you can't do anything against it

willst du im frust jetzt überwintern
und dich im selbstmitleid ausruhn
Do you want to hibernate in frustration now
and rest in self pity

Hi Steena ich glaube es heißt LORDs PRAYER
but I am not sure.

Thanks Steena


I didn't do as bad as I feared.

I almost used "that" but I was thinking instead: I think since you don't come out I'll take over for you. But I see your wording as more like: I'll take over because if I don't you'll never come out. That may not be right but it works for me.

Thanks, I didn't pick up on this one at all. The lack of capitals for nouns was not helpful in this case. In my experience, in most churches it is called "The Lord's Prayer", although I believe here the Catholic churches call it "Our Father" or they may use both.

As for the rest, didn't quite get the full meanings. Thanks for your insight.
