Haus am See [English translation]

Here I was born, and run through the streets,

I know all the houses, the faces, the stores,

I need to get away; every dove I know by name.

With thumbs out, I wait, for a chic girl with a fast car.

The sun is blinding--everything flies by

and the world behind me slowly becomes small.

The world out there is made for me!

I know it's waiting, and I (come to) pick it up.

The day is on my side, the wind pushes me along

A woman's choir on the side of the road sings for me.

I lean back and stare into the deep blue (sky),

close my eyes and just keep going.

And at the end of the street stands a house by the sea.

Orange autumn leaves lay in the road.

I have 20 children; my wife is beautiful.

Everyone comes by, and I never need to leave.

I am searching for a new land with unknown streets,

foreign faces, where no one knows my name.

Everything won playing games with marked cards

until all is lost: but that's just fate.

I unbury treasure from the sea and the sand.

And my thoughts are only of women.

Everywhere, luck follows me

and I come back with both pockets full of gold.

I invite the old women, and the relatives,

and everyone weeps for joy.

We grill, the mothers cook, and we drink schnapps.

And party for a week, every night.

And the moon shines brightly on my house by the sea

Orange autumn leaves lie on the road.

I have 20 children, and my wife is beautiful.

Everyone comes by, and I never have to leave.

I was born here, and here will I be buried.

I am deaf, my beard is white, and I sit in the garden.

My hundred grandchildren play cricket on the lawn.

When I think of it, I can hardly wait!
