Well, this is such a sad affair I've opened up my heart so many times But now it's closed
Oh my dear Every salted tear It wrings Bitter-sweet applause
But when the show's in full swing Every once in awhile High stepping chorus lines Mean I'm forgetting Mein lullaby - liebchen
How rich in contrast Love can be Sometimes I'm quite amused To see it twist and turn To taste both sweet and dry These vintage years Lovers you consume, my friend As others their wine
Nein - das ist nicht Das ende der Welt Gestrandet an Leben und Kunst Und das spiel geht weiter Wie man weiss Noch viele 'schoum'....wiedersehen (Translation of German lyrics: No - this is not the end of the world Stranded because of life and art And the game goes on as you know Schoum....see you)
And now, as you turn to leave You try to force a smile As if to compensate Then you break down and cry
