AH FRIENDS! AH LOVERS!
Fall, winter, greet,
Both embracing each other,
Ah, friends! Ah, lovers!
You have time for wives,
You have time for the children,
Ah, friends! Ah, lovers!
Jobs, money -- More and more!
Leave you no time left for me:
Ah, friends! Ah lovers!
I told you long ago,
That all of you will leave me:
Ah, friends! Ah, lovers!
I 'm too wise now,
To be fooled by excuses,
Ah, friends! Ah, lovers!
Is it a fault of mine,
To tell you how you have changed?
Ah, friends! Ah, lovers!
The bright sun decends,
Lenghtening shadows my fate:
Ah, friends! Ah, lovers!
When I was a youth,
I dreamed -- Now I am the fool:
Ah, friends! Ah, lovers!
Blood revolts at blood,
Mother, brother, sisters, son:
All busy, all the time!
I loved "Bonanza"*;
"Little House On The Prairie*:
Now I love Paul Anka*.
But dreams and visions,
Of grand, lovely evenings,
Wait for fulfilment...
Caught in life's rat racel
All of you, day in, day out:
Ah, friends! Ah, lovers!
Silent solitude,
And my daughter's company:
Ah, friends! Ah, lovers!
You are all lost souls,
Craving temporal comforts:
But what will you do,
When you too will be alone?
Ah, friends! Ah, lovers!
What a tragedy,
This age of falsehood unfolds!
Ah, friends! Ah, lovers!
I am not your slave,
Why take me now, for granted?
Ah, friends! Ah, lovers!
You know I stand tall,
The best of friends, able, wise,
Yet you "have your life"!
I crave company,
But now it is so futile!
Ah, friends! Ah, lovers!
