Die Taube auf dem Dach
Stimming Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Die Freiheit in der Hand
Eine Taube auf dem Dach
Nackte Füße gehen auf Sand
sachte Sinne werden wach
Fantasien in der Hand
Ich bin stark und fühl mich schwach
Die Taube auf dem Dach
Meine Freiheit in der Hand

Die Freiheit in der Hand
Eine Taube auf dem Dach
Nackte Füße gehen auf Sand
sachte Sinne werden wach
Fantasien in der Hand
Ich bin stark und fühl mich schwach




Die Taube auf dem Dach
Meine Freiheit in der Hand
