Genius English Translations
Elisabeth das Musical - Ich gehör nur mir (English Translation)
[Elisabeth]
I don't want to be obedient, tamed and behaved
I don't want to be modest, popular and deceived
I am not your property
Because I'm only mine

I want to look down on this world from the tightrope
I want to go on the ice and see for myself how long it can hold me
What do you care how much I'm risking?
I'm only mine

If you want to convince me then you only force me
To flee from the annoying duties
If you want to convert me then I will break free
And fly like a bird into the light

And if I want the stars then I will find them myself
I grow and learn and yet stay myself
I'll fight before I lose myself
Because I'm only mine

I don't want to be weighed down by questions and requests
From the hem to the collar touched by looks
I flee when I feel foreign eyes
Because I'm only mine
And if you want to find me then don't hold me back
I won't give up my freedom
And if you want to bind me I'll leave your nest
And dive like a bird into the sea

I'm waiting for friends and look for warmth
I share the happiness, I share the sadness
But don't demand my life, I can't give it to you
Because I'm only mine
Only mine!
