| You can walk like a neglected garden
|
| And you can shave everything bald
|
| Both I have seen more than once
|
| Whom did you want to surprise?
|
| You believed in the guitar, the Beatles and flowers
|
| Dreaming of loving the whole world,
|
| But all these songs were not invented by you. Whom did you want to surprise?
|
| Tell me what are you happy about?
|
| Wait, look back
|
| Wait, look back and you will see
|
| How the leaves wither
|
| And the crows are circling
|
| Where there used to be a blooming garden.
|
| You became a rebel, and the darkness trembled,
|
| You wanted to change the whole world -
|
| But all rebels lack intelligence -
|
| (But all rebels will face jail!)
|
| Whom did you want to surprise?
|
| Now you're tired and you don't care
|
| How to live the rest of life -
|
| And here everyone looks like you for a long time,
|
| Whom did you want to surprise?
|
| Tell me what are you happy about?
|
| Wait, look back
|
| Wait, look back and you will see
|
| How the leaves wither
|
| And the crows are circling
|
| Where there used to be a blooming garden.
|
| You thought you would make the whole world happy
|
| Illuminate him with a radiance
|
| But the wind blew - and you are gone
|
| Whom did you want to surprise?
|
| Tell me what are you happy about?
|
| Wait, look back
|
| Wait, look back and you will see
|
| How the leaves wither
|
| And the crows are circling
|
| Where there used to be a blooming garden. |
