Haus Am See

Here I was born and walk through the streets!
Know the faces, every house and every store!
I need to get away, know every pigeon here by name.
Thumb out, waiting for a hot chick with a fast car.
The sun blinds everything flies by.
And the world behind me slowly shrinks.
But the world ahead is made for me!
I know she's waiting, and I'll pick her up!
I have the day on my side, I have a tailwind!
A women's choir on the roadside singing for me!
I lean back and look into the deep blue,
close my eyes and just walk straight ahead.

And at the end of the street stands a house by the lake.
Orange tree leaves lie on the path.
I have 20 children, my wife is beautiful.
Everyone comes by, I never need to go out.

I search for new land
with unknown streets, unfamiliar faces, no one knows my name!
Win everything in the game with marked cards.
Lose everything, God has a tough left hook.
I dig up treasures in the snow and sand.
And women rob me of all reason!
But eventually, luck will follow me.
And I come back with both pockets full of gold.
I invite the old birds and relatives.
And everyone starts crying tears of joy.
We barbecue, the moms cook, and we drink schnapps.
And celebrate every night for a week.

And the moon shines bright on my house by the lake.
Orange tree leaves lie on the path.
I have 20 children, my wife is beautiful.
Everyone comes by, I never need to go out.

And at the end of the street stands a house by the lake.
Orange tree leaves lie on the path.
I have 20 children, my wife is beautiful.
Everyone comes by, I never need to go out.

Here I was born, here I will be buried.
Have deaf ears, a white beard, and sit in the garden.
My 100 grandchildren play cricket on the lawn.
When I think about it, I can hardly wait...
