Smiling Rascal
Sometimes without a hint of luck
feels like an orphan bird's chick
Gotta work long days
few of us stumble upon happiness
You'll see a smiling rascal,
if I catch your eye when I bow to the night.
And I ask you to dance, trigger something fitting.
You'll see a smiling rascal
shining like a carnation or tulip.
In the whirl of the dance, I open the gate to the garden.
Depression can derail a man
like a stone on the tracks of a tram.
With a heavy heart, one must remember.
Smiling makes the day shine again.
You'll see a smiling rascal
if I catch your eye when I bow to the night.
And I ask you to dance, trigger something fitting.
You'll see a smiling rascal
shining like a carnation or tulip.
In the whirl of the dance, I open the gate to the garden.
When it feels like an orphan bird's chick.
Only a few of us stumble upon happiness.
You'll see a smiling rascal,
if I catch your eye when I bow to the night.
And I ask you to dance, trigger something fitting.
You'll see a smiling rascal
shining like a carnation or tulip.
In the whirl of the dance, I open the gate to the garden.
