My name is Juliane

It all began with this,
I sang in a talent show,
and the gentlemen of the jury thought,
my voice seemed very good.
You put me behind a microphone
And put headphones on me
And after much trying and practicing
My first record was (made).
 
Soon both of us are on the television,
my guitar and me,
with terrible stage-fright,
but the audience liked my song.
And Mr. Schmidt, our postman, very amazed,
there was suddenly so much mail for me,
and reporters were calling at home
and asking, well, how do you feel?
 
My name is Juliane,
and I sing what pleases me,
cheerful songs and sad songs
(about)our not so perfect world.
My name is Juliane,
and I sing for you also,
but to know what you are interested in,
it is not so easy for me.
 
Sometimes when I go on the street,
people stare at me.
I stop in order to talk with them,
but they only want my autograph.
I am but a girl like thousands
I have a completely normal face
I speak out, what others think
But a memorial, I am not
 
Today I sing for you here, as long as you want
And I give my best here with pleasure
But after all, when everybody has left,
I feel alone and empty.
Then we go again into the dark hall
My guitar and I
But as loud as I play,I do not enjoy it
 
Because without you it is pointless.
