Cello [English translation]

By foot or on an moped - or by train without the fare

I always found a way to follow you everywhere

No, back then I never missed a single concert where you played

And at night I couldn't sleep - unless you are where my thoughts strayed

---

Refrain

You played the Cello

In every hall in our small town

I was sat in the first row, every night

No - I never let you down

Cello

You were like a goddess to me

Sometimes you'd look my way

And I lost the words to say...

And then I just totally lost it....

---

Yes, I was always there

And you were totally convinced

We were going to be together forever

And the fact I was with you - that was just SO big

That even now I can't fully describe it

And today you're living somewhere

And your Cello sits in the cellar

Go on - unpack it for me

And play it like you did before...

---

You played the Cello

In every hall in our small town

I was sat in the first row, every night

No - I never let you down

Cello

You played the Cello...
