BIOGRAPHY
Sarah Terenzi (born as Sarah Marianne Corina Lewe on June 13, 1980), better known by her stage name Sarah Connor, is the eldest of six siblings. She grew up listening to soul music, mostly influenced by her paternal grandfather who was born in New Orleans. A church choir became her first experience in the gospel music field at a very young age. In her teen years Connor tried out and was accepted to a performing arts school. Although all students were required to choose an instrument, Connor was the only one allowed to study voice. She took vocal lessons once a week and worked as a waitress in a hotel to pay for them.
She debuted as a solo singer in 2001 and became the first solo act to ever have four consecutive chart-topping hits on the German Singles Chart. Following success in mainland Europe with her single "From Sarah with Love" and her debut album „Green Eyed Soul“, a series of hit records established her position as the most successful German pop female vocalists to emerge in the 2000s with sales in excess of over 15 million copies worldwide. Her seventh studio album Real Love, was released in October 2010, amid her engagement as judge on the German reality television show X Factor.
Awarded with several prizes and accolades, Sarah Connor has received four Comets, a Top of the Pops Award, a Goldene Kamera, a Goldene Europa, a World Music Award, and two Echos. She married the American pop-rock musician Marc Terenzi in 2004, with whom she appeared in two reality shows, They ended their relationship with divorce in 2008.
Following a hiatus, in 2014, she appeared in the reality television series Sing meinen Song - Das Tauschkonzert, the German version of the The Best Singers series. In 2015, Connor released her ninth studio album „Muttersprache“, her first album to be entirely recorded in German. It sells over 630.000 items and gets the triple-platinium status. „Bedingungslos“ was the second single-release from this Album.
BEDINGUNGSLOS
Mein sechzehnter Sommer die Koffer gepackt
Mich nochmal umgedreht
Nein, ich pass hier nicht rein
Mir war die Welt zu klein
So verliebt in dich, in das Leben, die Musik
Und was vor mir liegt
Auf eignen Füßen stehen
Und mein Weg selber wählen
Viel geschwärmt, schnell gelernt,
Wie gewonnen so zerronnen
Und ich weiß dass ich eigentlich nichts weiß
Auf der Suche
Nach der großen Freiheit
Nach Liebe Schmerz und Wahrheit
Sorg dich nicht um mich
Denn ich werd' da sein
Immer für dich da sein
Und wenn du mich vermisst
Such mich da wo Liebe ist
Zehn Sommer weiter
Ich dachte ich sei weiser, alles schien perfekt
Und dann der große Crash
Plötzlich war die Sonne weg
Ich hab zum ersten Mal gebetet
Für dein Herz und dein Leben, dass es weiter schlägt
Ja ich kann heut verstehen
Wie es ist fast durchzudrehen
Wir halten fest, lassen los
Wollen nicht allein sein, suchen Trost
Doch es gibt eine, die dir bleibt
Die bei dir bleibt
Bedingungslos
Auf der Suche
Nach der großen Freiheit
Nach Liebe Schmerz und Wahrheit
Sorg dich nicht um mich
Nein ich werd' da sein
Immer für dich da sein
Und wenn du mich vermisst
Such mich da wo Liebe ist
Wir halten fest, lassen los
Wollen nicht allein sein, suchen Trost
Ich bin die, die bei dir bleibt
Bedingungslos
Für dein ganzes Leben
Und kommt der große Regen
Sorg dich nicht um mich
Ich wird da sein
Immer für dich da sein
Wenn du mich vermisst
Such mich da wo Liebe ist
Ich wird da sein
Immer für dich da sein
Wenn du mich vermisst
Such mich da wo Liebe ist
(Sarah Connor, Peter Plate, Ulf Leo Sommer)
UNCONDITIONALLY
My 16th summer, the bag is packed
Me turning around once again
No, I don't fit in here
This world was too small for me
So in love with you, with life, with music
And what I have ahead
Standing on my own feet
And choosing my way by myself
I dreamed a lot, learned quickly
Easy come, easy go
And I know that, in fact, i don't know anything
Searching
For great freedom
For love, pain and truth
Don't worry about me
Cause I will be there
Always there for you
And when you miss me
Look for me where love is
10 summers after
I thought I would be wiser, all seemed perfect
And then there was a big crash
Suddenly the sun was gone
For the first time I prayed
For your heart and your life, for it to keep beating
Yeah, I can understand now
How it feels almost to lose my mind
We hold back, let go,
Don't want to be alone, look for consolation
But there's one who stays with you
That stays with you
Unconditionally
Searching
For great freedom
For love, pain and truth
Don't worry about me
No, I will be there
Always there for you
And when you miss me
Look for me where love is
We hold back, let go,
Don't want to be alone, look for consolation
I am the one who stays with you
Unconditionally
For your whole life
And here comes the heavy rain
Don't worry about me
I will be there
Always there for you
And when you miss me
Look for me where love is
I will be there
Always there for you
And when you miss me
Look for me where love is
