My youth’s slipping away
My youth’s slipping away
To the poem's finale
Rhyme by rhyme steps beyond
Exhausting its words
My youth’s slipping away
As a green garden alley
Leads to a dried up pond
Now abandoned by birds
No more walks in the woods
No more singing together
Of that childish song
Which was silly and lame
While daydreaming of girls
That at parties then gathered
I forgot the song’s name
I forgot the song’s name
No more walks in the woods
No bloom we can find
It is raining today
Our footprints are gone
Out of those many songs
That were then in my mind
Can’t recall even one
Can’t recall even one
My youth’s slipping away,
A guitar’s gently weeping
My youth’s silent and slow
I can’t stop it, alas
My youth’s moving away
Unrelentingly slipping
And it looks like you did
When we laid on the grass
No more walks in the woods
The fall day’s dark like night
Will the spring be returning -
Am I waiting in vain
For a glimmer of light
For some hope in the morning
That would stop my heart’s pain
That would stop my heart’s pain
No more fun in the woods
For us walking together
My youth’s slipping away
And in it I see you
And your steps make a sound
But you are gone forever
Oh if you only knew
Oh if you only knew

Nowadays much is very American
Nowadays much is very American
The music that plays so loud too
I like it more romantic
Like this song the night wind's singing
That song is here and caresses
Only as gently as the wind your skin
When the music makes us dance
Then the music isn't loud
Then the harmony won't leave us
Alone with our wish
You can be so romantic-romantic
With this song any time
Nowadays much is very American
The music that plays so loud too
I like it more romantic
Like this song the night wind's singing
We need the reminder
For any moment
The wish for it to return
The music will fulfill
It's sound is like a silent party
A quiet party in candle light
With this music, we can
Be so romantic-romantic
Nowadays much is very American
The music that plays so loud too
I like it more romantic
Like this song the night wind's singing
(Nowadays much is very American
The music that plays so loud too)
I like it more romantic
Like this song the night wind's singing

I Loved You
I loved you, like you loved me
And there was a time when happiness seemed so close.
But our world, that we imagined for ourselves,
Remained a dream, I'm alone, like today.
Perhaps our ways just parted,
Or we doubt way too much,
But who really loves, knows only one goal.
You are my goal and my heart has no peace.
You are of happiness, sun shines for us, blessedly united.
Don't listen to the others, who talk so cleverly,
Because soon you too will notice the resentment and the jealousy.
Think of it now and then.
I loved you, like you loved me.
Every day was a wonderful gift,
It'll be so again, because you don't leave me alone
And my heart is once again happy as it was.
Perhaps we must go some ways,
But for me nothing is too much,
If we both always see our goal.
You remain my goal, because by you I find my calm.
You are of happiness, sun shines for us, blessedly united.
