There was a movie made in 1974 named "The Night Porter" In it was a scene where actress Charlotte Rampling sings this song. And in a hypnotic and sultry way. Topless I might add. It was the first time I've heard this Friedrich Hollaender song. That specific scene can be found right here on KZbin. Also starring Dirk Bogarde. A must see I exclaim. The story held much truth to the time after the end of the War.

Man hat uns nicht gefragt, als wir noch kein Gesicht Ob wir leben wollten oder lieber nicht Jetzt gehe ich allein, durch eine große Stadt, Und ich weiß nicht, ob sie mich lieb hat Ich schaue in die Stuben durch Tür und Fensterglas, Und ich warte und ich warte auf etwas Wenn ich mir was wünschen dürfte Käm ich in Verlegenheit, Was ich mir denn wünschen sollte, Eine schlimme oder gute Zeit Wenn ich mir was wünschen dürfte Möchte ich etwas glücklich sein Denn wenn ich gar zu glücklich wär' Hätt' ich Heimweh nach dem Traurigsein Wenn ich mir was wünschen dürfte Käm ich in Verlegenheit, Was ich mir denn wünschen sollte, Eine schlimme oder gute Zeit Wenn ich mir was wünschen dürfte Möchte ich etwas glücklich sein Denn wenn ich gar zu glücklich wär' Hätt' ich Heimweh nach dem Traurigsein

Here's an almost literal translation of this Dietrich classic. Nobody asked us when we still didnt even have a face Whether we wanted to live or not. Now Im walking alone through a big city And I dont know if it cares for me or not, I look inside the bars through the doors and windows... and I wait and wait for something... If I could wish for anything...I would be in a quandry about what I should wish for...a worse or a better time. If I could wish for anything... I would like to be a little happier and when I was quite content I could long for sadness once more.

[@hungabastahdeluxe3751]

It s not "a little bit happier" but "a little happiness" or "a little happy": or in other words: Sie mechert halt a weng glücklich sein. Kruzifix, wenn schon übersetzen, dann halt richtig und nicht so ein Gemurkse mit der Schlüsselaussage.

if-i-could-wish-something No one had asked us, when we were still faceless whether we'd like to live or rather not Now I'm wandering around alone in a large city, and I don't know if she's in love with me I'm looking into living rooms through doors and windows, and I'm waiting and waiting for something If I could wish for something I'd feel awkward What should I wish for, a bad or a good time If I could wish for something I'd want to be only a bit happy because if I were too happy I'd long for being sad If I could wish for something I'd feel awkward What should I wish for, a bad or a good time If I could wish for something I'd want to be only a bit happy because if I were too happy I'd long for being sad

[@mrjimmienoone2130]

4th line: "...and I don't know if SHE's" in love with me." - Well, this is not a love song. It's a song about one's place in life, how you look at life, and what to expect of it. So the pronoun refers not to an unknown woman, but to the town (metaphor for life) the singer is walking through. The singer wants to know if life loves her. In german, "Stadt" (town) is female, so there is a "sie" in the german text. But in english, you would translate it by "it" (for 'town'). One little word can change the whole meaning of a poem or a songtext. Also, stanza 4: "I'd feel awkward". Not a bad translation, but the real meaning of "in Verlegenheit kommen" is here "not to know what to choose", maybe you could say "doubtful"?

The story goes that, because she so famously rejected the Nazis and sang for Allied soldiers, Goering put a price on her head: a reward in gold for the sniper who killed her. She responded by crossing the Rhine with the US Army and did a concert within rifleshot of the front. Asked why she would risk her life to sing in Germany (to soldiers risking their lives fighting fascism in Europe), she replied: "Auf anstand" --- Out of decency. (She also gave whole salaries from films for refugees, and was the first to sing in German in Israel. The song? Where Have All the Flowers Gone) RIP.
