Das Gedicht hatten wir mal in Englisch, zum Thema "Don´t drink and drive" und das will ich Euch nicht vorenthalten.
I went to a party and remember what you said,
You told me not to drink, Mum, so I drank Sprite instead.
I felt real proud of myself, just like you said I would.
That I didn´t drink and drive, though some friends said I should.
I made a healthy choice, and your advice to me was right,
As the party finally ended, the kids drove out of sight.
I got into my car, sure to get home in one piece
I never knew it was coming, Mum, something I expected least.
Now I´m lying on the pavement, and hear the policeman say:
`The kid that caused the wreck was drunk.´
Mum, his voice seemed so far away.
My own blood´s all around me, as I try so hard not to cry,
I can hear the paramedic `This girl is going to die.´
I´m sure the guy had no idea, whilst he was flying high
Because he chose to drink and drive, now I will have to die.
So why do people do it, Mum, knowing that it ruins lives?
And now the pain is cutting me, like a thousand stabbing knives.
Tell sister not to be afraid, Mum, tell Daddy to be brave,
And when I go to Heaven, put `Daddy´s Girl´ on my grave.
Someone should have taught him, that it´s wrong to drink and drive
Maybe if his parents had, I´d still be alive.
My breath is getting shorter, Mum, I´m really getting scared.
These are my final moments, I´m so unprepared.
I wish that I could hold you, Mum, as I lie here and die.
I wish that I could say `I Iove you, Mum´. So ...........
I love you and goodbye.
