ANGELS ~ ROBBIE WILLIAMS
(engl. lyrics)
I sit and wait,
does an angel contemplate my fate.
And do they know
the places where we go,
when we're grey and old,
'cause I have been told
that salvation lets their wings unfold.
So when I'm lying in my bed,
thoughts running through my head,
and I feel that love is dead,
I'm loving angels instead.
And through it all she offers me protection,
a lot of love and affection,
whether I'm right or wrong.
And down the waterfall
wherever it may take me.
I know that life won't break me.
When I come to call,
she won't forsake me.
I'm loving angels instead.
When I'm feeling weak,
and my pain walks down a one way street,
I look above,
and I know I'll always be blessed with love.
And as the feeling grows,
she brings flesh to my bones.
And when love is dead,
I'm loving angels instead.
And through it all she offers me protection,
a lot of love and affection,
whether I'm right or wrong.
And down the waterfall
wherever it may take me.
I know that life won't break me.
When I come to call,
she won't forsake me.
I'm loving angels instead.
(instrumental)
And through it all she offers me protection,
a lot of love and affection,
whether I'm right or wrong.
And down the waterfall
wherever it may take me.
I know that life won't break me.
When I come to call,
she won't forsake me.
I'm loving angels instead.

DEUTSCHE ÜBERSETZUNG:
(Engel)
Ich sitze und warte,
ein Engel wird mein Schicksal betrachten.
Und kennen sie die Orte,
zu denen wir gehen,
wenn wir grau und alt sind?
Weil mir wurde gesagt,
dass Seligkeit ihre Flügel entfalten lässt.
Wenn ich so in meinem Bett liege,
Gedanken laufen durch meinen Kopf
und ich fühle, dass die Liebe tot ist,
dann liebe ich Engel stattdessen.
Und durch all das bietet sie mir Schutz.
Viel Liebe und Zuneigung,
wann immer ich richtig oder falsch liege.
Und unter dem Wasserfall,
überall dort, wohin es mich bringt.
Ich weiß, dass das Leben mich nicht brechen wird.
Wann immer zu Wort komme,
weiss ich, dass das Leben mich nicht brechen wird.
Sie wird mich nicht im Stich lassen.
Ich liebe Engel stattdessen.
Wenn ich mich schwach fühle
und mein Schmerz durch eine Einbahnstraße führt,
schaue ich hoch
und ich weiss, dass ich immer mit Liebe gesegnet sein werde.
Und während die Gefühle zuneh...
