An old man is standing on the stage
(he) can barely stand upright
almost no one in the bright hall
(he) still has the courage to look
Long lost is the old spark
(he) insisted on
playing the old song again
until finally everyone hated him
What has become of you?
Poor old man
An old man stands in front of his end
(he) didn't notice the signs
(he) seeks with a desperate look
coins in the empty hand
Long lost is the old spark,
(he) insisted on
trying again and again
even though everyone hated him already
What has become of you?
Poor old man
At one point it's time to go
Goodbye forever
The world is accepting the loss
lets the fate decide its course
An old man is standing on the bridge
(he) doesn't dare to look down
a sting in the flaccid chest
he can't resist anymore and jumps
What has become of you?
Poor old man
At one point it's time to go
Goodbye forever
The world is accepting the loss
lets the fate decide its course
At one point it's time to go
Goodbye forever
(he) continues singing, he hangs him up
old custom, old tradition
