- I Wanna Live Lyrics / with translationsI've been thinking it over
And I know just what to do
I've been thinking it over
And I know I just can't trust myself
I'm a Gypsy prince
Covered with diamonds and jewels
But then my lover exposes me
I know I'm just a damn fool
[CHORUS]
I give what I've got to give
I give what I need to live
I give what I've got to give
It's important if I wanna live
I wanna live
I want to live my life
I wanna live
I want to live my life
As I load my pistol
Of fine German steel
I never thought I'd be so down and out
Having my last meal
But I know I can do it
It just took a few years
As I execute my killer
The morning is near
And I know just what to do
I've been thinking it over
And I know I just can't trust myself
I'm a Gypsy prince
Covered with diamonds and jewels
But then my lover exposes me
I know I'm just a damn fool
[CHORUS]
I give what I've got to give
I give what I need to live
I give what I've got to give
I wanna live
I want to live my life
I wanna live
I want to live my life
As I load my pistol
Of fine German steel
I never thought I'd be so down and out
Having my last meal
But I know I can do it
It just took a few years
As I execute my killer
The morning is near

The lyrics are like telling a story of wanting to live life to the maximum no matter what, even if it takes to do the symbolic act of loading a gun of excellent German steel time and again. The song transmits the message of victory and the power of existence even in the most terrible situations. I wanna live lyrics take the main toll on empowerment, freedom, reflection, hope, and angst. However, on the other hand, they also convey the importance of self-discovery and trust, survival and resilience, and the burning desire for life and freedom.
