Grossvater [English translation]

At each quarrel with the mother, my first way was from home to you

And you have said:" she is alone, you must understand that; everything elapses; come, drink a beer"

Then you mentioned, the live consists about taking and giving much more

Whereupon i have stolen a few thousand Schilling out of your cabinet

To spoil in the discotheque, some days later you've asked me about it

I have denied it, shouted hyterically

Your look was sad, then i've been crying

You have just said, come let it go

money can never be that important

When you have spoken about the war, how you have faced a russian eye to eye

You have offered each other a cigarette, the hand on the trigger has been shaking through all the fear

Or your wife, who has all day been yaking at your ears

You have just said "i like her much"

"I don't have to hear all that she says"

Grandfather can't you come down to here for a quick coffee

Grandfather i want to tell you so much, i am just understanding now

Grandfather you were my first friend and i will never forget that

Grandfather

You were no superman, and you have never acted like this, that was the reason for a power

And through the way how you lived your live, i got an idea how to get it done

Your principle was, first think, have a opinion, stand behind it

Never violence, talk about everything

But have no fear from anyone

Grandfather can't you come down to here for a quick coffee

Grandfather i want to tell you so much, i am just understanding now

Grandfather you were my first friend and i will never forget that

Grandfather
