I believe the lyrics are about being German and moving to America during the war. I think that you can actually feel her emotions in this version.

“…möchte ich nur etwas glücklich sein…”, so süß! Tolle, sinnliche, mutige Frau!

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 KZread. Also starring Dirk Bogarde. A must see I exclaim. The story held much truth to the time after the end of the War.

I participated in play “Behind the Door” by German writer Wolfgang Borhert in the amateur theatre and there’s a scene where German soldier seeks for job after war and he comes to cabaret where girl sings this song and acts like Charlotte Rampling in this movie but with bra on.

A lady with true charisma. Her voice is hypnotizing

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.

She was so amazing! Marlene forever!

Keine singt so schaurig schoen wie die Dietrich. Hin und her gerissen zwischen dem Deutschen und der Freiheit. Pure Melancholie die tiefer geht.

She had style and class. She was Chic before People discovered what being Chic meant.

What a role model. A true icon. In the Cool Olympics, Dietrich is a multiple gold medalist.

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

Dietrich quando canta in tedesco é semplicemente irresistibile ! Unica, irrepetibile e eterna. Grandissima professionista...

WOW that's some interesting footage!! Much of which I hadn't seen! I LOVE the rare candid footage of Marlene just being her self!!

Marvellous,thank you.

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"?
