Haus am See [English translation]

Here I was born and go through the streets

I know the faces, every house and every store

I have to go, I know every dove by its name

Thumbs out I´m waiting for a glamorous woman with a fast car

the sun blinds me and everything is flying by

but the world behind me is minizing

but the world in front of me was made for me!

I know she´s waiting and I come to pick her up

I have the day on my side and I have downwind

a womans´choir at the side of the road who is singing for me

I´m leaning back and look into the deep blue

I close my eyes and just walk ahead

and at the end of the road there is a house at the lake

leaves of the orange tree are laying on the road

I have 20 kids, my woman is beautiful

everyone walks by and I never need to go outside

I´m looking for new country

with new roads, foreign faces, noone knows my name

everybody´s winning in the game with marked cards

to lose everything, God has a hard left catch

I bury treasures out of snow and sand

and women turn my world upside down (word by word it´s "women make me loose my mind")

but sometime I will get haunted by my luck

and come back with both pockets full of gold

I invite the old blokes and relatives

and everyone´s going to cry out of happiness

we barbecue, the mamas are cooking and we are drinking grog

and celebrate every night in a week

and the moon shines bright on my house at the lake

leaves of a orange tree are laying on the road

I have 20 kids and my woman is beautiful

everyone walks by and I don´t need to go outside

here I was born, here I´ll become buried

I have dumb ears, a white beard and sit in the garden

my 100 grandchildren are playing Cricked on the grass

if I think of it I can´t wait for it...
