Tried to produce as close to the original as I could with a few minor tweaks here and there for my own taste/style. English translation is by no means thorough... Just used a translation from the web then rewrote some phrasing to either fit the rhythm better or have similar cadence and phonetic sound as the original while still matching the general theme of the song.

Lyrics

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL
Her eyes are moonlit
Reflecting back and shining
SHE IS WONDERFUL
Roulette thoughts spin around
But Fear and dread inside of me
Steals it all away and I can’t breathe
 
And If you think it looks like I am waiting for someone
Well Then you're right
I've been waiting my whole life
Waiting right here for you
 
———————

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL
And you just keep singing
Its like you're speaking straight to me
SHE IS WONDERFUL
So don’t get overwhelmed
Let her light lead you out the dark
But tears they start to fall, I can’t breathe
 
If you see me searching on the streets
Don't bother stopping, and asking me 
How long I’ll look for her
BABY as long as it takes
 
————————

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL
Her eyes are moonlit
Reflecting back and shining
SHE IS WONDERFUL
Roulette thoughts spin around
But fear and dread inside of me
Steal it all away and, I can’t breathe
 
A miracle, sure it would be nice
Know you’re enough for me
Today, and every day until I die
THANK YOU, MY TWILIGHT
THANK YOU, MY TWILIGHT

This page is a sampling of works I've either engineered, mixed, written and/or performed on. Think of it as a digital portfolio.

I'm a professional producer of "all things audio and other content" for public radio as well as podcast and audio production services for several freelance clients. I formerly served as studio head and program director at youth music program the Music Resource Center - Cincinnati. Currently in terms of music, I work on a variety of cross-genre solo projects mostly recording and producing out of my home studio under my name and/or @CarlsManager. I formerly played in Cincinnati Garage-punk band The Slippery Lips, pop punk band Horsecop, Wizard Rock band Tonnks and The Aurors, as well as a song writing and a recording collective known as Steambot Manner.

NOTE: While I have had a hand in some part of the creation of each of these recordings I DID NOT necessarily perform on or write for all of them. Writers, composers and performers are attributed individually on each track's details.
