Wenn Ihre Welt unten zusammenkracht,
Wenn es ganze zu viel ist, um zu tragen.
Wenn Tränen unten Ihr Gesicht rollen,
Wenn es keinen Sorgen ähnlich ist.
Kommen Sie zu mir, ich werde Sie halten
Ich werde dort sein, als jeder sich sonst abgewendet hat.
Ich werde Ihnen helfen zu fliegen.
Wenn Sie aufgelegt sind, dass Sie nicht wintergreen können
Wenn die Straße scheint, dass das zu rauh ist.
Wenn Sie Ihre Hände hochwerfen wollen
und sagen Sie “Ich habe genug gehabt.”
Kommen Sie zu mir, ich werde Sie halten
Ich werde dort sein, als jeder sich sonst abgewendet hat.
Ich werde Ihnen helfen zu fliegen.
Wenn Ihre Flügel gebrochen werden
und Sie mißlingen der Himmel.
Wenn Ihre Dämonen nach Ihrem Rücken greifen
und Sie wollen sich gerade zusammenrollen und sterben.
Kommen Sie zu mir, ich werde Sie halten
Ich werde dort sein, als jeder sich sonst abgewendet hat.
Ich...
Ich werde...
Ich werde Ihnen helfen zu fliegen.
Author notes
And for all you non-german-speaking people out there, heres a translation. A rough one at best.
"I'll Help You Fly"
When your world is crashing down,
When it’s all too much to bear.
When tears roll down your face,
When it seems like no one cares.
Come to me, I’ll hold you up
I’ll be there when everyone else
has turned aside.
I’ll help you fly.
When you feel like you can’t go on
When the road seems like it’s too rough.
When you want to throw your hands up
and say “I’ve had enough.”
Come to me, I’ll hold you up
I’ll be there when everyone else
has turned aside.
I’ll help you fly.
When your wings are broken
and you’re falling through the skies.
When your demons are clawing at your back
and you want to just curl up and die.
Come to me, I’ll hold you up
I’ll be there when everyone else
has turned aside.
I...
I will...
I’ll help you fly.
Please tell me what you think

i love this poem. its so sweet. i am german but i cant speak it. for ages ive been trying to find someone to teach me. i just had to read this poem when i saw what language it was in. im very greatful for the translation though.
well done -
I could only pick up a few words here and there, not nearly enough to know what was going on, so very thankful for the full translation. Lol.
This truly reminds me of my close friend, a few but one in particular. Also reminds me of Superchick's "Hold". Brilliant message, so many people need to have the reassurance like this poem gives!

Wow, that was utterly brilliant. At least the english side was. I don't think I can comment on the actual, german one since I'm learning Japanese and portuguese.
But Its such a sweet, uplifting poem that literally brought tears to my eyes. (but shh, don't tell anyone!)
Now I think I'm going to go stalk some of your poems,

it sounds beautiful in German. i do not speak German but i get the general sounds of the words. in truth it sounds beautiful in both languages. this is my favorit part:
When your wings are broken
and you’re falling through the skies.
When your demons are clawing at your back
and you want to just curl up and die.
Come to me, I’ll hold you up
I’ll be there when everyone else
has turned aside.
I...
I will...
I’ll help you fly.
i feel the emotion in it. it is powerful. you are saying that you will be there to catch that person if they fall. it is beautiful.

I loved the repeating stanza, and how you altered it at the very end, but didn't change the meaning of it at all! This is a very uplifting poem =]

Well, I only know a little German. I just have a really good online translator xD You see, A very dear friend of mine who is from Germany is going through a really hard time in her life. So I wrote this for her and translated it into her native tounge for her. Just to let her know I'll be there.
And by the way, I love your new pic. Very beautiful *nods*
Omnia Vincit Amor,
