Orangenlied (live)

Migratory birds fly south
When everyone freezes in winter
Couples go their separate ways
When love is lost
Stories are forgotten
When no one tells them anymore
My father always thinks of the past
When he peels oranges

Young animals leave the pack
Most never come back
Whoever flies over the cuckoo's nest once
Is then suffocated by the silence
Forest Gump found true love
And then lost it right away
Every person loses so many lives
Everything takes its course
Forest run

You can forget your mother tongue
When no one speaks it with you
You can never love enough
When no one says I love you

It's crazy how much time passes
Incredibly much time
Without you noticing
And every year flies
Like the birds away when winter comes

Stories are forgotten
When no one tells them to you
My father always thinks of the past
When he peels oranges
