There was a time, I was poor, and happy with an extra penny ...

There was just enough copper for food, just right.
|
There was a time, I was cheerful, for no reason, just like that ...
|
So many seats were worn out at railway stations, in cities.
|
Night knocks on the window like an apple,
|
And in the district the cry of a bird is lost ...
|
I know, I know, I know one thing
|
I was a young soul, and now an old man,
|
I was young at heart, and now I'm an old man.
|
There was a time, I'm in business, the rest is tryn-grass ...
|
So the years have whistled by, my head has sobered up.
|
The garden is noisy, I will go out to the garden, I will go to the trees for the time being,
|
Feel the delight on your cheek, the chill of raw bark.
|
Night knocks on the window like an apple,
|
And in the district the cry of a bird is lost ...
|
I know, I know, I know one thing
|
I was a young soul, and now an old man,
|
I was young at heart, but now... |
