Beschissenes Leben(Shitty Life)

By Draven

Ein böses Wort durch einen gebrochenen Vogel

Linke Seite, hinter dem Topf zu verrotten

Tiefer in dispare wandernd weit von hier nicht

Ein einfaches Gesicht eine freie Stelle

Zu sehen oder werde durch die Augen von meinem Traum gesehen

Ein tieferer Gedanke, der wrought hätte

Der Schmerz von Ein ist jetzt begonnen

Um, dass dieses Leben zu sehen, das mit Streit gekauft wird

Und zu nie wieder wrought mit Schmerz

Zu leben zu sterben zu lieben, zu liegen

Ein Lebenswertleben ist ein wert Sparen

------------------------------------------------------------
English Version Shitty Life

an angry word
by a broken bird

left to rot
behind the pot

deeper in dispare
not wandering far from here

a simple face
an empty place

to see or be seen
through the eyes of my dream

a deeper thought
who would have wrought

the pain of one
is now begun

to see this life
bought with strife

and to never again
wrought with pain

to live to die
to love to lie

a life worth living
is one worth saving

    aah, ich wunsche mein Deutsch war besser. (can't figure out how to get the umlaut working, either...!) The English version rhymes but the German doesn't - I'm curious; which did you write first? I like the fifth couplet best in the English version, and th
