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.
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 RUclips. 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.

Ich liebe Marlene Dietrich, ihre Stimme. Für mich das war in alten zeiten eine Von schönsten Frauen in der Welt. ich komme aus West Böhmen aus Pilsen in Tschechien. Und Marlene hat auch viel gemeinsam mit Böhmen, Ehemann Rudolf Sieber war Deutsche Böhme :-).
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
Ob wir leben wollten oder lieber nicht! mein allerliebstes Teil des ganzen Liedes, das hat mir wirklich angetan..... ich habe auf dieses Lied vor kurzem ganz unabsichtlich gestoßen.. ich muss zugeben, dass beim Reinhören das erste Mal hat mich völlig umgehaut sowie berührt! danke fürs Posten... Wenn ich mir was genau jetzt wüschen dürfte, das wär auf jeden Fall, dass Musik dieser Art wieder mal in der ganzen Welt verbreiten würde. Es ist einfach klasse zum anhören!
Pour moi les 2 plus grandes stars allemandes sont et resteront à tout jamais Marlene Dietrich et Romy Schneider. Inclassables, indémodables et irremplaçables 👏👏👏💖😍💋
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
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"?
chantée par Charlotte Rampling dans "Portier de Nuit", cette chanson ne pourra jamais plus s'en dissocier. même si la version par Dietrich est interprétée avec davantage de profondeur. C'est une de ses plus belles... merci
@canan sag I don't understand what you mean with "drink beer aside"? What does beer has to do with Marlene Dietrich and German culture? I know Germany pretty well und verbringe dort die Hälfte meines Leben. Was soll Ihre Bemerkung? Ein wunderschönes Lied sagt: "ich habe noch einen Koffer in Berlin" nicht wahr? Und ich auch habe einen Koffer in Berlin und zwar seit Jahrzehnten ...
Her confidence and sexual power over men was incredible. She doesn't look even slightly intimidated at the end of this video when surrounded by men, in fact she is kissing them and loving every minute of the attention.

Charlotte Rampling lipsyncs this song for Nazi entertainment in the film ¨The Night Porter.¨ It is not Dietrich´s recording. I believe it is the Greek singer Maria Farantouri.
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.

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

Великое исполнение.
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
