My dear brother when will we build a raftA
to float down the sky onB
My dear brother soon our load will be so heavyC
that we'll sinkD
-
My dear brother onto paperE
we'll draw many countries and tracksF
Watch out for the black linesG
or you'll fly sky high with the land minesG
-
My dear brother i want to be tied to a stakeH
and screamI
Already you ride out of death valleyC
and together we will fleeC
-
On guard in the gypsy camp on guard in the desert campJ
the sand streams from our hairK
your age and my age and the age of the worldL
cannot be measured in yearsM
-
Don't be deceived by cunning ravens sticky spider's handsN
and a feather in the bushO
don't eat and drink in a fool's paradiseP
illusion gleams in pans and mugsQ
-
Only he who by the golden bridgeR
still remembers the name for the Karfunkel fairy has wonS
i must tell you that it melted after the last snow in the gardenS
-
Many many stones have made our feet so soreT
One can heal We will use it to jump withU
until the children's king with the key to his kingdomV
in his mouth comes for us and then we will singW
-
it s a beautiful moment when the date pit sproutsX
Each one that falls has wingsY
Red foxglove fringes the shroud of the poorZ
and your parnassia sinks onto my sealA2
-
We must go to sleep darling the game is overE
On tip toe The white shirts swellB2
Father and mother say there are ghosts in the houseC2
when we exchange breathD2
