After the War
Today that so much time has passed,
as you can see I'm here once again.
I came to find your eyes
that are only the spoils of suffering.
Do you know how hard the war was?
I saw so much evil, so much pain...
That it seems a dream to be telling you about
the wretched miseries of that horrible hell.
I have the vodka near my lips
And I will make a toast for you and for me
while the gypsies sing
that old melody
that I can hear again today:
La la la laila la la lara lal la la la ra la ra la....
But your eyes don't look at me like they used to,
because this hard life changed them.
All the sweetness that they radiated
turned to sadness and resentment.
May the gypsies keep on harmonizing,
because this song makes me forget.
While I recall, with the help of the vodka,
those tender eyes I left here when I went off (to war).
La la la laila la la lara lal la la la ra la ra la....

In love
She dreams of him only
She can't stop thinking of him.
She only wants him
And she hopes for a miracle.
In love, she's so in love
But he doesn't see her and stares dead ahead
In love, she's so in love
And he acts as if he can't see her at all
He, he's her type
She's madly in love
But she knows for sure now
That he's in love with another woman long since.

Noah's Ark
This is a story
to tell
It can go well, it could go badly
But no one knows, what is the ending.
But you need to go, go anyway
and walk
on the terrace with the world view
where every sunrise is also a sunset.
The world is Noah's Ark
that gets lost in the drift.
But if you're here with me,
the world doesn't exist
it's just summer rain.
Lost in you
like a sardine in the sea
Vague in eternity
and I'm down here, in a tiny street.
It goes, it goes, but where does it go?
Who knows who knows, I'm not afraid
and this is my life
it's all that I have.
The shorter it will be,
the louder I will sing.
This is a story
to tell
I saw you yell little life
Leave the world a new name
A vengeance, a hope
Or maybe only a bit of love
and motor oil
of a spaceship.
The world is Noah's Ark
that gets lost in the drift.
But if you're here with me,
the world doesn't exist
it's just a summer galaxy.
It goes, it goes, but where does it go?
Who knows who knows, I'm not afraid
and this is my life
it's all that I have.
The shorter it will be,
the louder I will sing.
